We're seeking a passionate and resilient Store Manager to lead our iconic St Kilda Salvos Store. This is a unique opportunity to take the reins of one of our busiest and most dynamic stores, where every sale helps fund programs that support Australians in need.

This isn't your typical retail management role. St Kilda is a high-volume operation with significant growth potential, a large and diverse team, and a store footprint spanning two buildings. Success in this role requires strong leadership, exceptional planning skills, and the ability to bring people together around a shared vision.

If you're someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment, enjoys developing teams, and is motivated by purpose, we'd love to hear from you.

About the Role

Reporting to the Area Manager, this is a permanent, full-time position based in St Kilda, VIC.

As Store Manager, you'll be responsible for driving sales performance, operational excellence, and team engagement while creating an outstanding shopping experience for customers.

  • Managing stock flow, pricing, merchandising, and presentation standards.
  • Monitoring budgets, wage costs, and operational performance.
  • Building strong community connections and local partnerships.
  • Identifying opportunities to unlock the store's full potential and drive growth.

About You

We're looking for a confident and capable leader who can motivate people, navigate challenges, and create a positive team culture.

You will bring:

  • Previous retail management experience (essential).
  • Strong customer service, communication, and interpersonal skills (essential).
  • Demonstrated experience leading, coaching, and influencing teams.
  • Excellent organisational and planning skills with the ability to manage competing priorities.
  • Confidence managing complex rostering and operational requirements.
  • A resilient and solutions-focused approach in a fast-paced retail environment.
  • Experience managing budgets and delivering commercial results.
  • Experience using Workday HCM (highly regarded).
  • Alignment with The Salvation Army Mission and Values of integrity, respect, compassion, collaboration, and diversity.

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.
