THE ALLSAINTS TEAM
At AllSaints we are in the business of feelings - making our customers feel cool and confident. If, like us, you believe in the power of a great outfit, we'd love to talk to you.
We're a global brand made up of a very diverse mix of talented people in a huge variety of roles. Our products are designed in house and made by a small number of suppliers and artisans around the world to sustainable standards.
We are a brand embarking on a very exciting plan and we are seeking new members of the team who want to contribute to this.
THE ROLE
As our brand leader in store, you’re responsible for leading, managing and motivating your team to deliver an exceptional brand experience to our customers. For us, the store leadership role is not just about what happens within the store’s walls - although we want to deliver a wow, showroom experience to our customers every single day - it’s also about the community around you.
We see your store as the centre of a community of AllSaints fans and customers in your surrounding area, who might shop with us in store, online or via a partnership. As brand leader, you’ll take full ownership for delivering the AllSaints experience in your city, supporting any concession partnerships as well as engaging in the community and delivering amazing in-store service.
The role will involve some exceptional time management, resilience, multitasking and determination to ensure that in store customer journey, the financial targets and delivery of business critical updates all happen appropriately.
Leadership of your team of managers and stylists will be a key part of how you spend your time, upskilling and equipping team members with the commercial skills to succeed and deliver sales targets, as well as exceptional service that makes our customers feel amazing.
You’ll also need to be able to build great relationships without relying on hierarchy since you’ll also have the opportunity to influence and partner with any local concessions and your surrounding community.
WHAT WILL I BE DOING?
- You will equip and incentivise your team with the latest product knowledge, brand strategies and people updates empowering them to deliver an inspiring in-store experience
- You hold responsibility for the development of your team. By hosting annual appraisals for all team members, you will recognise and highlight achievements as well as identify areas of improvement, setting the objectives for each individual’s needs
- Effectively plan and deliver monthly floor sets, promoting our new collections and driving sales across all product categories.
- You will lead floor walks, occasionally at director level, with full understanding of your business, KPI performance and with reasoning behind any commercial decision
- With support from your District Manager and the relationships built with brand support, you own all areas of your business. From customer experience, backstage stockroom operations and people policies to payroll, profit protection, health & safety and recruitment - this is your show!
- One management team - you set the expectations, occasionally stepping into other roles to upskill and present on the spot feedback to drive the business forward
- With the support of our reporting technologies, you walk our shop floors on a daily basis 'through the eyes of our customers', maximising on all trade
