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 while actively prioritising deliveries, organising the warehouse, and replenishing shelves. You will often run the full store operation independently overnight, being responsible for the entire shift and ensuring the safety and wellbeing of colleagues in store. Your focus will be on making sure standards are excellent by morning so the store is ready to serve customers effectively.
People management is a key part of this role, including managing performance and capability, conducting disciplinaries, and ensuring accurate scheduling and pay. You will drive brilliant customer service and coach your team to do the same, while monitoring and delivering on KPIs and operational targets. This role requires resilience to the physical and mental demands of nightshift working and a commitment to creating a safe, inclusive, and supportive environment for your team.
Our nightshift managers are hands-on leaders who take ownership of store operations in the absence of senior management, ensuring smooth, efficient, and safe trading throughout the night.
