Job description

Make Yourself At Home


It takes a whole lot of passion to be at the centre of what makes a house feel like home — and that’s just what we do at DFS. We’re the leading sofa retail specialist in the UK, helping people find a comfy seat on their great quality sofas since 1969.


We're a market leader in the UK because of one thing: our people. Our people made us who we are and will drive us into our ambitious future, together. We offer incredible opportunities to get stuck into fun and meaningful work as well as learn new skills — so you can really ‘find your thing’.


Are you ready to make yourself at DFS?


A bit about the role


New Store Opening Soon - Greenwich


We're excited to announce a brand new store in Greenwich, opening in November 2023. We’ve wanted to find a suitable location in Greenwich for some time as it continues to receive significant residential, retail and leisure redevelopment - this is perfect for DFS to provide our customers with amazing products and service.


The Greenwich store will be a 2 floor store with a fabulous mezz located on the Peninsular Retail Park.


With this incredible and exciting opportunity for DFS, we’re now looking to start building our team of amazing colleagues. We're looking for enthusiastic and motivated individuals who are passionate about delivering exceptional customer service and contributing to the success of our brand new store.

As our Store Manager, you’ll bring your passion for great customer service to life, inspiring your colleagues to do the same. You’ll coach, mentor and champion your people to help them fulfil our customer’s needs and help make their houses feel like warm and welcoming homes.


A dab hand at organisation, you’ll manage shift patterns, conduct appraisals and take responsibility for the growth and revenue of your store. Sitting firmly in your team’s corner, you’ll help them reach their targets and get the most out of their work at DFS.


What we're looking for


As a Store Manager, you’ll be the face of your DFS store, taking responsibility to ensure that it’s not only a great place for our customers to come and find their perfect sofa, but also a great place for your team to work and build a fantastic career. So, we’re looking for Store Managers who have:


  • An entrepreneurial, self-starter attitude
  • Experience in leading and effectively managing a diverse team with a range of backgrounds and experiences
  • Commercial awareness to help reach sales targets and drive store revenue growth
  • An engaging and positive personality and a natural flair for connecting with both customers and teammates to make sure everyone has what they need
  • A great attention to detail and organisational skills — you’ll be responsible for the smooth operation of the store, so these are essential
  • The care and attention to coach and mentor your team members to make sure they feel supported and able to do their best work

As a Greenwich store team member, you’ll be able to play a pivotal role in shaping this new store and helping our brand new customers find their dream sofa. By doing this, you help to create an inviting atmosphere for the customers and the team whilst making every visitor's experience one to remember. If you're a dedicated, customer focused individual who thrives in a fast-paced environment, this could be the perfect opportunity for you!


We're in your corner


We want you to really feel at home at DFS, with the support you need to put passion into your work. This range of great DFS Group benefits is how we help:


  • A huge 30% colleague discount, plus 15% friends & family discount across our Group (DFS, Sofology, Dwell)
