If you enjoy fast-paced retail, leading a outstanding team, and helping customers get properly geared up for their next outdoor adventure, this could be the role for you.

Wild Earth is built for the outdoors - and our Brisbane store is seeking a Store Manager who can set the tempo: high standards, strong culture, great energy, consistent results and has a passion for everything outdoors.

The role (what you’ll actually be doing)

You’ll own the day-to-day running of the Brisbane store - keeping it trade-ready, humming, and customer-focused.

That means strong routines around opening/closing, cash controls, store standards and security, plus being the calm decision-maker when customer issues may get complex (returns, exchanges, warranties, escalations).

You’ll keep stock and process tight, partnering with the Inventory Coordinator to maintain a safe, organised back-of-house, strong inventory integrity, and seamless click & collect and pick & pack standards.

You’ll bring the VM plan to life with pace and pride - and keep it looking sharp between activations.

You’ll own performance: daily sales, wages %, shrink, reporting and the coaching that turns numbers into results. And you’ll lead in store safety standards - physical and psychosocial - with real follow-through.

Most importantly: you’ll build a team that strives for wins, recruit well, onboard accurately, coach in the moment, develop your leaders (ASM/3IC), and help us maintain the culture people want to be part of.

About You

This role is made for an experienced Store Manager who loves the buzz of a busy shop floor and gets genuine satisfaction from building a team that performs to the highest standard and enjoys being there.

To thrive in this role,



you’ll bring:

● Solid retail leadership experience (Store Manager / Assistant Store Manager level) and a customer-first mindset

● Proven success leading a team to hit targets - and doing it through coaching, not chaos

● You back your instincts with the numbers, then lead the action - pushing when it’s time, resetting when it’s needed, and lifting results without flattening the vibe

● A calm, capable approach to complex customer resolutions

● Strong operational discipline (cash control, stock accuracy, compliance, routines)

● A genuine passion for the outdoors (camping, hiking, anything adventure-adjacent) - and a drive to keep learning product

About the Perks

The Wild Earth crew live our values every day: Elevate | Live your Word | Show Respect | Be Open - and we’re looking for a leader who does too.

On top of a competitive salary package, you’ll get:

● Generous staff discounts across an incredible range of outdoor gear

● Access to free Wild Earth sponsored events like trail running races etc

● A fun, social team who take their work seriously - but not themselves

● Regular product training, brand sessions and industry events

● The chance to help shape a growing business and make the Brisbane store your own
