Job Description

Shop Manager
 Location: Fife
 Salary: Competitive DOE

If your background is in premium homeware, lifestyle, interiors or boutique retail, this could be a really interesting opportunity to take everything you've learnt and create a department your own.

We're working with an independent garden centre in Fife that's investing significantly in a new site, with a clear focus on creating something more premium than traditional garden centres.

Think carefully selected homeware and lifestyle ranges, strong visual merchandising and a retail environment where how products are presented is just as important as what's on the shelves.

The Role

They're looking for a Shop Manager who can take ownership of the indoor retail operation and help develop its identity as the business moves forward.

You'll have plenty of freedom to influence presentation, standards and the overall customer experience, while making sure the shop delivers commercially.

You'll be responsible for:

Leading the indoor retail operation and taking ownership of its performance.
Creating strong, engaging displays across homeware and lifestyle ranges.
Maintaining consistently high visual merchandising and presentation standards.
Understanding what's selling, what isn't and where there are opportunities to improve performance.
Managing stock, availability and seasonal range changes.
Leading the team on the shop floor and setting clear standards around service and presentation.
Ensuring customers receive knowledgeable, attentive service.
Working closely with the wider business to develop the shop as investment in the site continues. 

What are they looking for?

Garden centre experience isn't essential here.

We're much more interested in finding someone who understands premium retail and knows how to create a shop people genuinely enjoy spending time in.

You could currently be managing a boutique, homeware store, lifestyle retailer or a premium department within a larger business.

You'll ideally bring:

Retail management experience within a quality led environment.
A strong eye for visual merchandising and product presentation.
Experience with homeware, interiors, gifting or lifestyle products would be particularly relevant.
Good commercial instincts and an understanding of how presentation translates into sales.
The confidence to take ownership rather than waiting to be told what needs doing.
A natural presence on the shop floor and the ability to get the best from a team. 

What's in it for you?

Rather than stepping into a shop where everything has already been decided, you'll be joining while the retail offer is still developing.
There's significant investment going into the site, giving you the opportunity to influence what the shop looks and feels like and establish the standards that will define it going forward.
The business also has ambitions to grow, so there could be further opportunities for someone who comes in and makes a success of the role.
