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 alone overnight, being responsible for the entire shift and the safety and wellbeing of colleagues in store. Your goal is to ensure that 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 be a hands-on leader, driving brilliant customer service and operational excellence throughout the night. This role requires resilience to the physical and mental demands of nightshift working and a commitment to creating a safe and supportive environment for your team.

Our nightshift managers are empowered to lead operations confidently in the absence of more senior management, delivering and monitoring KPIs to maintain high standards in sales, availability, customer satisfaction, and colleague engagement.

- Comfortable and adaptable to nightshift working and its physical and mental demands
- Resilient and able to provide a safe, healthy, and inclusive environment for your team
