Birmingham | £55,000-£60,000 Basic + 10% Bonus + Excellent Benefits

Senior Retail Store Managers - Ready to Take Your Leadership Career in a New Direction?

You've mastered the art of running a successful, high-performing operation.

You've led large teams, driven commercial performance, delivered exceptional customer experiences and maintained outstanding standards in demanding, fast-paced environments.

But perhaps you're ready for something different.

An opportunity to take everything you've learned in retail, hospitality, hotels or leisure and apply it in a premium, service-led environment where people, customer experience and operational excellence come first.

We're recruiting on behalf of a growing, premium organisation looking for an experienced General Manager to lead a large, customer-focused operation in Birmingham.

This is an exciting opportunity to transition into a different sector, offering greater autonomy, genuine career progression and an improved work-life balance.

The Role

You'll take full ownership of a busy operation, leading your team to deliver an exceptional customer experience while driving performance and maintaining the highest operational standards.

You'll be responsible for:

  • Leading, coaching and developing a high-performing team
  • Delivering exceptional customer experiences and service standards
  • Driving operational performance, efficiency and compliance
  • Creating a positive, engaging culture where people thrive
  • Managing budgets, KPIs and overall operational performance
  • Taking ownership, making decisions and leading from the front

Who We're Looking For

We're particularly keen to hear from experienced:

  • Senior Retail Store Managers
  • Flagship Store Managers
  • Retail Area / Cluster Managers
  • Hotel General Managers
  • Hospitality Operations Managers
  • Leisure General Managers

You'll be a confident, commercially aware leader with experience managing large teams and complex operations.

Most importantly, you'll have a genuine passion for people, exceptional customer service and developing high-performing teams.

Previous experience in the sector isn't required. We're looking for proven leadership ability, operational expertise and the ambition to succeed in a new environment.

What's On Offer?

  • £55,000-£60,000 basic salary
  • 10% annual bonus
  • Excellent benefits package
  • Improved work-life balance compared with traditional retail and hospitality roles
  • Genuine career progression within a growing organisation
  • A rewarding, people-focused leadership role with real autonomy

Ready for Something Different?

If you're a successful Senior Retail, Hotel, Hospitality or Leisure Manager looking to step away from traditional sector demands without sacrificing responsibility, salary or career progression, we'd love to hear from you.
