FULL DESCRIPTION

Night Manager

About the Role

As part of the leadership team, you'll work a rolling rota and 4 nights over 7 including weekend working. You will be solely responsible for the store through the night, and therefore you'll need to be confident in overseeing operation as a whole where store is open 24 hours.

  • Execution-focused: Ensuring shopfloor is landed and presentable for customers before handing over to day team with promotion, Foyer and hot spots fit for trade.
  • Talent Development: Listen with empathy, driving resilience and encourage ownership, focus and passion for the business by bringing the “Asdaness” to work every day and supporting the development of the team and creating an environment where people feel valued, trusted, and motivated to step up.

What you’ll bring:

  • Experience supervising or managing teams in a retail grocery environment, ideally overnight.
  • Ability to make decisions independently with a hands-on attitude and a drive to improve processes and people.
  • Confidence in developing teams and managing change.
  • Strong customer service focus.
