Retail Supervisor
Leading the floor, hitting targets, looking after the team
Retail supervisor with eight years on the shop floor in Birmingham, the last four leading teams in a busy high-street store. Runs the floor day to day — supervising and motivating staff, managing rotas, opening and closing, and keeping service and sales on track through peak trading. Drove the store's customer-satisfaction scores to the top of the region by coaching the team on service. Handles cash and reconciliation, stock and visual merchandising, deals with escalated customer issues, and steps up as duty manager. Calm under pressure, good with people on both sides of the counter, and focused on hitting targets without losing the team. Looking for a retail-supervisor or assistant-manager role with a retailer that backs its frontline people.
