Job Description

General Store Manager Large Format Retail Salary 65-80,000

This is not a typical Store Manager role.

We're working with a leading UK retail brand to appoint a high-performing Store Manager for a large-format, high-turnover site. This role is about leading at scale-managing complexity, driving performance, and building a team that can deliver consistently in a demanding, fast-paced environment.

If you thrive on accountability, pace, and leading large teams to deliver measurable results, this is where you step up.

What You'll Be Responsible for as a General Store Manager

  • This is a big leadership role with real operational depth.

  • You'll take full ownership of a large-format store-leading multiple departments, driving commercial performance, and ensuring operational excellence across the board.

  • Lead a large, multi-layered team - develop managers, not just individuals

  • Own full-store performance - sales, labour, stock, and profitability

  • Drive operational excellence - from stock flow and availability to compliance and standards

  • Create a high-performance culture - clear expectations, strong accountability, consistent delivery

  • Make fast, informed decisions - balancing customer experience with commercial priorities

Why This Role Stands Out

  • Top Store Managers in large-format retail look for scale, challenge, and progression-this delivers all three.

  • True scale & complexity - lead a high-volume store with multiple moving parts

  • Autonomy & accountability - real ownership of performance, not just execution

  • Progression into senior leadership - clear pathways into Area and Regional roles

  • Well-established brand - strong infrastructure, systems, and support

What We're Looking For in our new General Store Manager

  • This role suits a proven operator who can lead at scale.

  • Experience managing a large-format, high-volume retail environment

  • Strong track record of delivering against sales, labour, and operational KPIs

  • Experience leading large teams and developing department managers

  • Highly organised, commercially aware, and comfortable with complexity

  • Resilient, decisive, and thrives in a fast-paced environment

What You'll Get

  • Industry leading salary and bonus package

  • Structured development and progression opportunities

  • A role with real influence over a major retail operation

  • A business that values performance, leadership, and results
