Location: Dublin
Salary: €31,711 + Bonus
Hours: 36 hours per week
Role: Permanent
Fancy 4pm finishes in retail?
Are you an experienced Supervisor, Team Leader or Assistant Manager looking for your next step?
We’re recruiting an Assistant Store Manager for a successful and growing customer-focused business in Dublin. This is a brilliant opportunity for someone who loves working with people, delivering great service and helping a team perform at its best.
You don’t need to come from a particular type of retail. We’re open to people from retail, hospitality, beauty, fashion, leisure, hotels, restaurants or other service-led environments. You could already be an Assistant Manager, or you might be a strong Supervisor or Team Leader ready to take that next step.
What matters most is that you’re confident leading people, love delivering a great customer experience and have the commercial mindset to help drive sales and performance.
And with a 36-hour working week, predominantly 4pm finishes and only one later evening, the role offers a genuinely great work-life balance.
What’s in it for you?
- Salary of €31,711 + bonus
- 36-hour working week
- Predominantly 4pm finishes
- Only one later evening per week
- Excellent training and development
- Genuine opportunities for career progression
- Supportive and people-focused working environment
- Opportunity to develop your management career within a growing business
What We’re Looking For
- Experience as an Assistant Manager, Supervisor, Team Leader or similar
- Experience supporting, coaching and motivating a team
- A genuine passion for delivering brilliant customer service
- Confidence working towards sales, service or performance targets
- Commercial awareness and an understanding of KPIs
- Experience driving sales through great customer conversations, recommendations and upselling
- A positive, hands-on leadership style
- Confidence giving feedback and supporting colleagues to improve their performance
- Strong communication and relationship-building skills
- Someone who enjoys being on the shop floor and leading from the front
- A desire to develop, learn and progress their career
You don’t need previous Assistant Manager experience. If you’re a strong Supervisor or Team Leader already taking responsibility for people, customers and performance, we’d love to hear from you.
Key Responsibilities
- Support the Store Manager with the day-to-day running and performance of the store
- Lead the team and take responsibility for the store in the Store Manager’s absence
- Deliver an exceptional, personalised customer experience
- Support the delivery of sales targets and key commercial KPIs
- Coach colleagues around customer engagement, selling, upselling and complementary products
- Keep the team motivated and focused on daily and weekly targets
- Support daily team briefs, communicating performance, priorities and expectations
- Provide regular shop-floor coaching and real-time feedback
- Support one-to-ones and colleague development
- Help identify opportunities to improve sales, customer experience and team performance
- Support recruitment, onboarding and training of new colleagues
- Maintain excellent operational and presentation standards
- Deal confidently with customer queries and resolve issues effectively
- Lead from the front and create a positive, supportive and high-performing team culture
