As a General Manager at one of our stores, you’ll take the lead on creating an experience our customers love. Every decision you make will be with the customer and your team in mind.

This is the place to influence the business, optimise the running of your store and build a happy and engaged, high-performing team.

You will need:
● An established management background in a similar role.
● To embrace changes that continue to evolve the business.
● The confidence to lead a team and make key decisions with them and the rest of the business in mind.
● The commercial instinct and drive to stay ahead, constantly promoting improvement.

We know our people are the secret to our success. That’s why we’re always looking for ways to reward great work. Alongside 30 days of annual leave (including bank holiday entitlement) and a competitive pension scheme, you’ll find a host of benefits designed to work for you. They include:
● A monthly performance-related bonus.
● Product discount on the latest tech.
● A range of wellbeing initiatives.
