Job description
Retail Sales & Operations Manager
As Cherrydidi, an established independent all British made gift shop-gallery, plans for national growth we have a unique opportunity for a hands-on Retail Sales & Operations Manager to lead the Cumbrian team. You will go between our two stores, Ambleside and Keswick, as well as having the flexibility of working from home once a week.
You will be a people person, be a natural leader and keen to make your mark, have a passion for supporting small businesses, be focussed on delivering the best customer service, have a proven track record of generating sales, have drive to increase retail sales performance and profitability with your team, have an aptitude for technology and problem solving, have a natural ability for visual merchandising and be capable to run and improve the Cherrydidi operation.
Come and join Cherrydidi at this exciting time – live and work in the iconic Lake District, lead an established and quirky dog loving retail team (who all have a great work-life-balance so are enthused when they come to work!), be wowed and inspired by super talented artists, feel proud to be involved in an ethical business where supporting other small British businesses is at our core (to date we have supported over 150 creative start-ups) and feel good that every Zak the Collie Dog purchase raises money for the Lake District Search Dogs and the Border Collie Trust.
