About the Role

We’re hiring a Store Manager to lead a high-performing team in one of our busiest UK locations. Baker Street sees exceptional footfall every day, and we’re looking for someone who can manage high traffic and fast turnover, while still delivering an elevated customer experience.

• Responding to challenges quickly and confidently, using your initiative and experience
• Handling customer queries and escalations with empathy, speed and professionalism

What We’re Looking For

• Experience as a Store Manager in a high-footfall retail environment (e.g. city centre, outlets, fast fashion, or luxury volume retailers)
• Strong leadership skills with a calm, clear, and hands-on management style
• Excellent commercial awareness and confidence managing KPIs and performance data
• Resilience, adaptability and a proactive mindset – you’ll be a go-to problem solver
• A natural people leader who enjoys coaching and developing teams
• Passion for delivering outstanding customer experiences, even at pace

What You’ll Get in Return

• A competitive salary and generous commission scheme
• Comprehensive training and ongoing career development opportunities
• A supportive culture with real progression potential
• Benefits including:
• Holiday buying scheme
• Enhanced maternity & paternity
• Staff discount
• Access to lifestyle and wellbeing perks

If you love the buzz of a busy retail floor and have the leadership and commercial skills to thrive in one of London’s busiest store environments, we’d love to hear from you.
