Store Manager - Swindon Swindon, Wiltshire, South West England, England
Job description
When a customer walks through our doors, we want them to be wowed – and that’s down to you and your team. As a Clarks Store Manager, you’ll be at the very heart of our business, championing a much-loved brand.
The role
You’ll be at the forefront of the Clarks business, leading a team as Store Manager of our Swindon store. Thanks to you, it’ll be a great place to be – for customers and team members alike. You’ll create a lively, friendly atmosphere, where everyone feels welcome. It’s a job for a great manager and brand ambassador – someone who champions Clarks and inspires teams to achieve. As a skilled professional, you’ll be ready to lead people through the full service cycle, right through to closing a sale and ensuring a great customer experience. You know about every element of the process: tracking P&L, planning trading events, minimizing costs and delivering KPIs. However, it’s the customer experience you create that will really send sales sky-high.
About you
An experienced retail manager, you have a track record of commercial success. You’re an inspiring leader with strong communication skills who can get the best out of people. If you’ve worked in Fashion or Footwear before, fantastic – but it’s not absolutely essential. It’s more important that you can lead teams, promote brands and establish outstanding customer service. Organised and ready to adapt to challenges, you have the expertise you need to meet targets, manage P&L and tackle day-to-day operations.
About Clarks
Clarks, based in Somerset, England, has been at the forefront of innovative shoemaking since its foundation in 1825, when brothers James and Cyrus Clark made a slipper from sheepskin off-cuts. At the time it was ground-breaking: a combination of invention and craftsmanship that has remained at the heart of what the brand does now. In the Clarks archive of more than 22,000 pairs are shoes that have sparked revolutions and defined generations. From the original Clarks Desert Boot, first designed by Nathan Clark and launched in 1950, to the iconic Wallabee, each design has an instantly recognisable signature that makes it unmistakably Clarks.
This season, we’re proud to introduce the Clarks Collective: five incredible activists championing authentic social change. From mental health awareness and LGBTQ+ rights to greater racial equality, these trailblazers are committed to creating a brighter future for us all – bringing to life Clarks’ new global campaign, For the World Ahead. Through spotlighting their stories and supporting their chosen charities and initiatives, we’re ready to lead the way. After all, we’re originators, not imitators. It’s who we are, who we’ve always been. And to change the world of tomorrow, we’re doing things differently today.
The benefits
As well as a rewarding career, development opportunities and a competitive salary, you’ll also enjoy a generous holiday allowance and the opportunity to join the company pension scheme.
We love hearing from great people
