Drive customer experience and retention, ensuring consistent, high-quality service delivery across all locations
Partner with sales teams, key customers, and suppliers to unlock sustainable growth opportunities
Lift commercial performance through local execution of pricing, merchandising, and in-store initiatives

Manage stock, supplier relationships, and inventory performance to maintain effective supply flow
Monitor and act on key metrics (sales, DIFOT, NPS, engagement), using data to drive decisions
Ensure sites are audit-ready, with strong adherence to HSE standards, HR compliance, and operational controls
Lead cost and budget management, balancing efficiency with service outcomes
Coach, develop, and performance-manage leaders and teams, building capability across a dispersed workforce
What You Bring

Strong capability managing remote teams and diverse stakeholders
A solid understanding of mid-market supply chain or inventory-driven operations
Experience driving operational change, including store resets, process improvements, or supplier realignment




Commercial acumen with accountability for budgets, performance, and growth outcomes
A people-first leadership style grounded in safety, structure, and high standards
High attention to detail — you run structured, compliant, audit-ready operations
The confidence to engage and influence senior stakeholders and suppliers, while staying collaborative and outcome-focused
A pragmatic, hands-on mindset — you roll up your sleeves and solve problems
