Reporting to the Regional Manager, sharing best practice with your peers and learning from others' successes in your regional team. Building a strong sales culture in-store: coaching your team to spot every opportunity to add value for the customer — confidently suggesting complementary products, seasonal offers, or additional services that genuinely improve the experience for pets and their owners. This isn't about hard-selling — it's about training your team to have great conversations that naturally lead to a bigger basket and a better-served customer.

Clear communication of key business updates and individual/team objectives. Genuinely hands-on, not office-based. You'll be out front with your team and customers — helping with deliveries, walking the floor, and driving performance through what you see and do in-store, not from behind a screen. Physically active by nature. Our products can be heavy and retail keeps you on your feet most of the day — if the idea of a desk job doesn't appeal, this could be exactly what you're looking for.

The Skills: To be successful in this role, joining as a Store Manager you’ll need the following skills and experience: A genuine passion for pets and people — delighting customers with an unrivalled shopping experience.

Previous retail store management experience, with a hands-on approach to running the business day-to-day and planning for short, medium and long-term success. Commercially confident on the shop floor — comfortable modelling and coaching upselling and add-on sales conversations with customers, not just reviewing sales figures after the fact. A sound decision-maker who communicates objectives clearly and builds high-performing, engaged teams, with succession plans in place for future leaders. A proven track record of developing business performance and exceeding KPIs, while maintaining high store standards, health & safety, and legal compliance. Commercially aware, able to manage your P&L with a proactive approach. Own transport with a UK driving licence, as occasional out-of-hours store visits or regional cover may be needed. Full time, permanent — 40 hours/week, 5 days out of 7. Weekends can be our busiest days so some cover on weekends is required.
