  • Use the cafe space to attract foot traffic and create opportunities for cross-selling Madhappy products.
  • Take ownership of profit and loss management, identifying areas to reduce costs without compromising quality or service.
  • Lead, mentor, and inspire the store team to meet and exceed sales targets, ensuring a results-driven environment.
  • Provide ongoing coaching to improve sales techniques, customer service, and overall team performance.
  • Hire and build the UK team, starting with the London store and Pantry, with people aligned with Madhappy’s values and mission.
  • Ensure effective training in sales techniques, customer service, and product knowledge to optimize team performance.
  • Own and drive the store’s clienteling program to build strong relationships and increase repeat customer visits.
  • Ensure a high level of customer service at all times, leading by example and addressing customer needs quickly and professionally.
  • Cultivate a personalized shopping experience that resonates with our brand values of optimism.
  • Partner with the ecommerce team on UK online sales, delivery, and returns, so shopping in store and online feels the same.
  • Work with operations and the warehouse on UK inventory, stock levels, and replenishment for the store.
  • Share what UK customers ask for and what sells, to inform buying and allocation.
  • Collaborate to ensure merchandise displays and store presentation align with sales and marketing strategies.
  • Regularly assess inventory to identify slow-moving products and implement strategies to move them.

The Qualifications

  • 7+ years of retail management experience, including running a high-volume flagship or several stores.
  • Leadership experience in a Coffee or Food & Beverage environment is a plus.
  • Experience leading a brand’s business in a market or region, with full P&L responsibility.
