Head of Retail

About our client
We have been exclusively retained to source and secure a Head of Retail to join and take full operational control of the day-to-day running of this fast-paced retail business. Having full responsibility for the Corporate store portfolio spanning the entire country, you will be tasked with leading the business with your inspirational and motivation management style, whilst also being detailed and meticulous to ensure continuous high profit growth.

About the role
FreeChoice has ambitious yet fully achievable targets across each of its stores and regions over both the short and longer term, and it will be your responsibility to drive the strategy to achieve these goals. The strategy is one of exceptional revenue performance through outstanding customer service and loyalty, whilst also one of driving profit margin through meticulous management of all retail associated costs.

You will have a leadership style that nurtures outstanding behaviour, but you will also need to instil a level of performance expectation with that same style in order to achieve both components of the strategy.

FreeChoice is a high performing business that equally has a high level of purpose and values throughout. Your people are your most important asset - so their training and development is paramount.

New store openings and existing store development will also be a key part of your role as you continue to seek out opportunities to take market share.

About you
You will be a leader of people, but also someone who comes from an exceptionally fast-paced retail environment and can hit the ground running. You must come from the grocery, convenience or petrol retail sectors, but also potentially from the QSRs (quick service restaurants) industry.

Already be in a senior leadership role in any of the above retail sectors, you will have been responsible for the overall operational and financial performance of your stores.

Your vast experience managing, leading, motivating, developing and inspiring your people will be obvious in your track record. Equally, your ability to review the financial building-blocks of a portfolio of stores will be second-to-none. FreeChoice is a business that focuses on the details; your financial and analytical skills must be a strength.

You will have a work ethic that is determined yet consistent and transparent - and one that instils confidence in the people around you to do the same.

What's on offer?
