Torpedo7 Looking for Store Manager – Torpedo7 New Store Auckland at Auckland City, Auckland Full Time

At Torpedo7 the work comes easy when you love what you do. We are so passionate about the gear we sell that you will see us out there on the track, trails, gyms and anywhere an adventure is to be had.

We believe that New Zealand is the most epic outdoor playground in the world and that sore muscles on Monday tell your stories – about where you’ve been and how much further you can go.

However, for us it is more than about just getting out there. It’s partnering with our customers on their journey and ensuring they have all the tools to have an amazing adventure every time, and that is where you come in…

An exciting opportunity has become available for a true retail leader to champion a new Torpedo7 store that is being geared up for in South East Auckland in September.

You will have a few years’ worth of retail management experience under your belt and will be no shrinking violet, knowing exactly the right levers to pull to get your team humming and maximise store profitability.

Able to walk the talk you will be equally at home on the floor with our customers as you will be behind the desk managing the business operations. You will understand the role a leader plays in store and have the capability to coach and inspire your team, building a culture of exceptional customer service.

The role will include;

• Leadership of your store team
• Stock management including inwards/outwards goods
• achieving sales results & smashing key KPI’s
• PNLs, wage budgets & rostering

Preferably you will have experience or an affinity with outdoor adventure sports – it will certainly help if you’re a bit of a adventure junkie yourself.

Ideally you would;

• have strong retail fundamentals around store standards and visual merchandising. Having structure in your day to day operations is key to implement our DILO/WILO principles.
• have a proven track record of driving sales and profitability, minimising loss and maintaining exceptional store standards
• be a strong people leader and be genuinely passionate about developing your team
• have an understanding of our “See You Out There” ethos and what it means for the business and how to continue to reinforce this within your store
• a good understanding that management is a balance between administration and leading on the shop floor and that doesn’t scare you
