We're on the lookout for an experienced Garden Centre Manager to take ownership of a recently refurbished, large-footprint centre in Kent and lead it through its next stage of growth.
 
 You'll be joining one of the UK's leading garden centre groups, with the backing of a much larger business and plenty of scope for progression as the company continues to grow.
 
 As the Garden Centre Manager, you'll have full responsibility for the commercial, operational and performance of the centre, with plenty of autonomy to shape how it develops.

Key responsibilities include:

Taking full accountability for sales, KPIs and overall commercial performance.
Leading, developing and growing the team as the centre moves into its next phase.
Identifying commercial opportunities across the site and putting plans in place to maximise its potential.
Driving layout, visual merchandising, product positioning and overall retail standards.
Ensuring the large retail footprint is used effectively and remains commercial, engaging and easy to shop.
Developing managers and colleagues, setting clear expectations and creating a strong performance culture.
Maintaining high operational standards and ensuring the basics are consistently delivered.
Remaining visible across the centre and leading from the front.
 What they're looking for:

Ideally an established Garden Centre Manager with experience leading a sizeable retail operation.
A commercially strong manager who can identify opportunities and turn ideas into results.
A confident people manager with a track record of leading, developing and getting the best from teams.
Strong understanding of retail standards, merchandising, layout and customer experience.
Someone who wants autonomy and the opportunity to influence how a newly refurbished centre develops.
An exceptional Assistant Manager may be considered, although proven Garden Centre Manager experience would be preferred.
 Why join?

Take ownership of a fully refurbished garden centre with significant investment already completed.
A large footprint with plenty of commercial potential.
Growing team with additional headcount currently being added.
Join a major UK garden centre group with strong longer-term progression opportunities.
