Store Manager | Specialist Retail | Reading | £30,000 - £34,000
Are you an experienced Store Manager, Assistant Manager or retail leader with a genuine passion for fishing?
We're recruiting for a Store Manager in Reading for a leading specialist retail business. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who combines strong people management and commercial experience with a genuine interest in angling.
You don't necessarily need to have worked in fishing retail before. We're also open to experienced Assistant Managers ready to take their next step, or strong hospitality managers looking to move into retail, provided you have the leadership skills, customer focus and passion for fishing we're looking for.
What's On Offer?
- £30,000 - £34,000 salary depending on experience
- Up to 40% staff discount
- The opportunity to combine your career with your passion for fishing
- A role with a specialist business that genuinely understands and supports the angling community
- Opportunity to develop your retail management career
The Role
As Store Manager, you'll take ownership of the day-to-day running of the store, leading and developing a team while driving sales, customer service and commercial performance.
