  • Impactful Contribution: You will play a crucial role in driving sales, enhancing customer relationships, and fostering a high-performing sales team. Your efforts will directly contribute to the store's success and market share growth.
  • Supportive Environment: The company emphasizes a collaborative working culture where supporting colleagues is paramount. You'll be part of a team dedicated to operational excellence and delivering outstanding customer experiences.
  • Comprehensive Benefits: AkzoNobel offers a competitive salary (£33,400 per annum plus bonus), 25 days of holiday, income protection, staff and product discounts, an employee assistance program, life assurance, a company pension, and a flexible benefits scheme that includes options like Gymflex, retail cards, and dental cover.

  • Team Leadership Skills: You'll need to inspire and develop your colleagues, fostering a positive and productive team environment. Understanding the importance of nurturing and motivating your team is paramount.
  • Commercial Acumen: The role involves contributing to the store's Profit & Loss (P&L), so a commercially astute mindset, with an emphasis on sales, margin optimization, cost efficiency, and loss prevention, is highly valued.
  • Adaptability and Organization: The ability to manage store standards, monitor trends, and support improvement initiatives requires strong organizational skills and an eye for detail. Being calm under pressure is also a significant asset.
  • Flexibility in Working Hours: The role involves a 40-hour work week with operating hours from Monday to Friday (6 AM - 5 PM) and Saturday mornings (8 AM - 12 PM). You'll need to be available to work shifts within these times, including some rotational Saturday shifts (with time off in lieu).
  • Embrace the Brand: Familiarity with or an interest in the paints and decorating industry, and AkzoNobel's renowned brands, will be beneficial.

This Assistant Store Manager position at Dulux Decorator Centres presents a compelling opportunity for individuals seeking to develop their retail management career within a globally recognized and respected company.
