About the Role
As a Customer and Trading Manager on the nightshift, you will lead a team overnight to deliver all replenishment activities across the store. You will prioritise deliveries, organise the warehouse, and replenish shelves, often running the full store operation on your own during the shift. You will be responsible for the safety and wellbeing of colleagues in store and ensure that standards are excellent by morning to provide a seamless experience for customers.
