What You’ll Be Doing

  • Supporting the Store Manager to lead and motivate the store team, ensuring consistent delivery of great service, strong sales behaviours and operational excellence.

  • Taking ownership of the trade side of the business — growing relationships, driving repeat purchases and increasing local trade market share.

  • Using the Topps Sales Framework to proactively build meaningful relationships with trade customers, uncovering their needs and confidently recommend the right products.

  • Coaching and engaging the store team to help them spot opportunities, strengthen customer conversations and deliver both trade and retail sales and profit targets.

  • Leading by example on the shop floor — influencing, inspiring, and closing sales with confidence.

  • Ensuring the store maintains high operational standards and delivers an unrivalled customer experience every time.
