  • Working closely with the Assistant Store Manager and wider Support Office team to achieve store objectives

What we’re looking for

We’re looking for an experienced retail leader who is confident taking ownership, enjoys being on the shop floor and knows how to bring a team together to achieve great results.

You’ll ideally have:

  • Previous Store Manager or senior retail management experience
  • A strong track record of leading and developing teams
  • Experience managing sales targets and KPIs
  • Experience with recruitment and people management
  • Strong commercial awareness and a results-focused approach
  • Excellent customer service skills
  • A passion for fashion and an interest in our brand
  • Excellent communication and organisational skills
  • A hands-on, proactive and collaborative approach
  • The ability to multitask and work effectively in a fast-paced environment
  • Flexibility and adaptability
  • A willingness to learn and develop

Most importantly, you’ll be someone who leads by example, takes pride in their store and enjoys creating a positive environment where both customers and colleagues can thrive.

Why join us?

This is an exciting opportunity to be part of something new and help establish our store from the very beginning. You’ll have the opportunity to build your team, shape the store environment and make your mark as part of the Apricot family.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
