Assistant Manager - Drogheda
Choice is an Irish owned and operated family business that has been trading successfully in Ireland for over 40 years. Thanks to our loyal customers, we have expanded and developed over that time, and now employ over 300 people in our stores, head office, and 2 distribution centres. Our ethos is to offer a large variety of quality products at the lowest prices possible, giving our customers more choice and more value.
Leading by example, you'll role model the Choice way of doing things. Highly present and hands-on, you will ensure that every team member understands the importance of sales and their part in making the store successful. Every week you'll build customer loyalty and uphold high operational standards.
A confident and charismatic leader, you will have a passion for retail and the knowledge and experience necessary to drive sales, profitability, and develop your team into the next stage of their career. You will be able to plan, prioritise, and manage finances and people. What will set you apart is your attitude, mindset, and leadership skills. We expect you to take pride in your work, ensuring that the shop floor looks amazing and all stock is merchandised correctly. Your desire to do the right thing for your team and customers will shape a meaningful career at Choice.
We don't expect you to know everything about Choice. This is why we train you at our training academy and develop our Store Managers to build the knowledge, confidence, and skills they need to provide exceptional service every time customers visit our stores.
