The Company:

Quest Search and Selection is partnering with a global retailer that offers a range of products including skincare, beauty, fashion, and home, designed to transform your wellbeing and mindfulness.

The Role:

The role of the Area Manager is to manage a team of 10-15 Store Managers across a group of retail locations within Scotland. This role focuses on the wellbeing, performance, and development of each store and its team. You will also ensure that all stores reflect the brand, operate with customer excellence, commerciality, and meet operational & stock targets.

Key Responsibilities:

• Actively engage with store teams during visits, coaching, and motivating them on the shop floor to deliver an exceptional feel-good customer experience.
• Regularly assess employee engagement levels using feedback from engagement surveys, create actionable plans, review store progress, and follow up visits.
• Collaborate with the Retail Director to proactively develop action plans, focusing on performance improvement, operational optimisation, talent retention, and people engagement.
• Oversee people planning for the area to drive productivity growth in line with sales and operational responsibilities.
• Ensure store budgets and expenses align with targets and maintain cost efficiency.
• Complete store visits at least monthly or bi-monthly with follow-up actions to ensure accountability.
• Confirm that all training needs are met on store visits and that you have a proactive succession plan for performance management and high achievers.
• Recognise and celebrate team achievements and engage with stakeholders accordingly.
• Ensure all store team members complete required training for products, services, operations, and leadership in line with standards.

To Be Successful:

• Ideally have 2+ years of experience as an area, regional, or district manager, with field-based experience.
• Experience in the retail or hospitality sectors, ideally within a premium, customer service-oriented setting.
• Experience working with different store formats – FP/Outlets/Travel concessions is highly desirable.
• Most backgrounds considered, but fashion or beauty within a fast-paced or premium environment is desirable.
• Strong interpersonal skills, with excellent verbal, written, and IT communication abilities.
• Results-driven and detail-oriented.

Benefits:

• Working days are typically Monday WFH, Tuesday – Friday in stores.
• One in four weekends required to work, with time off during the week.
• Car or allowance provided.
• Numerous wellness benefits, working for a sustainable business.
• Day off for your birthday & training.
