Job Description

At Morrisons, we’re proud to be The Market Street Grocer. We don’t just move boxes; we are food makers and shopkeepers. As a Fresh Food Manager, you won’t be stuck behind a desk. You’ll be the driving force behind our fresh departments, orchestrating stunning product displays, managing short-life stock, and ensuring our customers experience a vibrant, bustling place to shop.

Reporting into the Store Manager, you'll be the operational driving force behind two core zones: produce (fruit & veg) and fresh chilled.

What you'll be doing day-to-day:

  * Leading with Passion: Inspiring, coaching, and developing a team of team leaders and fresh department colleagues.

  * Driving Fresh Excellence: Maximising sales through striking visual merchandising, seasonal trade planning, and peak stock availability.

  * Managing the Numbers: Taking full ownership of fresh sales targets, tight food waste management, shrinkage, and labour budgets.

  * Keeping it Safe: Upholding highest-degree food safety, temperature control, legal compliance, and trading standards.

  * Putting Customers First: Being a visible leader on the floor, ensuring an authentic, passionate "shopkeeper" environment.

More About You

You thrive in a fast-paced, high-volume fresh retail or food service operation and understand how to run a highly profitable, short-life stock environment.

  * Proven Leadership: Experience managing teams, driving standards, and bringing out the best in people.

  * Commercial Mindset: Ability to read trade reports, manage stock rotation, and tightly control food waste.

  * Hands-on Attitude: You love the energy of the morning set-up and leading by example during busy peaks.

  * Brilliant Communicator: Skilled at building strong relationships with teams, store leadership, and customers.

We are an equal opportunities employer and welcome applications from all sections of the community.

We are a team of over 90,000 down-to-earth people. Uniquely, we are the UK's second largest food manufacturer and own our entire supply chain; giving you incredibly diverse career paths and development opportunities.

More Perks:

  * Competitive Salary: Discussed early in the process to match your experience

  * Colleague Discount: 15% staff discount for you, 10% for a nominated friend/family member.

  * Time Off: 33 days annual leave.

  * Future Growth: Access to our University-accredited Sir Ken Morrison Leadership School programme.
