Role Overview
Homeware at Liberty is anything but ordinary. It's a department where craftsmanship meets the quirky, and every corner has a story to tell. We're seeking a Divisional Sales Manager with proven management experience to lead it.
You'll run the department day to day, setting the pace for a team that looks to you for direction, coaching and energy. Working closely with our Store Director, you'll drive sales, service and stock performance, and get stuck in on everything from training and merchandising to visual displays, inventory and e-commerce.
If you love great product, great people and the buzz of a busy shop floor, you'll help us stay what we've always been: the global home of everything specialist, quirky and creative.
