    WHAT YOU'LL NEED TO HAVE

    • 5 years’ experience in a leadership/managerial role within retail or a related sector, with an understanding of coaching and supporting teams and leading on policies and processes.
    • Able to build positive relationships and create a culture where everyone feels valued. You bring an optimistic, solutions focused mindset and proactively look for ways to improve co worker experience and store performance.
    • Ideally, knowledge of employment law and workplace rights, with the ability to navigate and mediate relationships between co-workers, management, trade unions, and government bodies. Your expertise ensures a fair, compliant, and collaborative working environment.
    • Experience of the following is beneficial:
    - Strategy development and stakeholder relations
    - Performance Management
    - HR Issue Resolution and Policy Management
    - Business Model Guidance
    • Confidence to express ideas and opinions effectively, both verbally and in writing, to influence and build effective relationships across all levels.
    • Strong problem solving and decision making abilities, particularly when faced with operational challenges – you remain calm and organised under pressure when several issues need attention at once.
    • You enjoy being visible and present in the store, working closely with managers and co-workers in a busy, day to day retail environment, not just from behind a desk.
    • Proven ability to manage a high and varied workload – switching between strategic work (planning, projects, initiatives) and operational tasks and urgent issues without losing structure or quality.

    • Ensure that line managers develop business and leadership competence for today and tomorrow.
    • Actively foster an ongoing open dialogue with co-workers, their associations and other organizations, contributing to the successful involvement of co-worker committees/trade unions to secure social partner commitment.
    • Be responsible for ensuring that talent and succession goals are being consciously achieved, providing advice and expertise to line managers to secure a quality and timely process.
    • Participate and represent Human Resource in strategic business plan development and ongoing business meetings and decisions.
    • Take responsibility for the implementation of a co-worker relations plan that effectively manages all local interactions with co-workers and ensures that all areas in the unit work with the labour relations principles and uphold local policies, procedures and laws.
    • Act as a proactive partner to managers – spotting trends in co‑worker feedback, absence, performance or engagement data and recommending action before issues escalate.
