Fresh Food Manager
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.
