Store Manager Location: South London This independent, design-led garden and lifestyle business continues to grow - with a reputation for creative, community-rooted retail spaces that blend expert horticulture, floristry, and curated home ranges. Building on the success of their Camberwell shop, they've recently taken on an additional adjacent unit, creating a combined indoor-outdoor "mini garden centre" with a flourishing floristry department and growing demand for installations and contract work. They're now looking for a Store Manager to oversee both the main shop and the new extended space - someone energetic, design-minded, and passionate about plants and flowers, with the leadership ability to elevate standards and support a young, developing team. With the business expanding and new opportunities emerging, this is a key hire with real scope to shape the future of the company. The Role As Store Manager, you'll take the lead across two connected retail spaces - managing day-to-day operations, guiding and developing the team, and ensuring both stores are well communicated, commercially strong, and delivering an outstanding customer experience. This is a hands-on management role with a strong focus on plant retail, floristry operations, and growing the installations/contract side of the business. Key Responsibilities Lead, motivate, and develop the team across both units. Ensure stores are well-stocked, visually inspiring, and running smoothly. Take full responsibility for rotas, staffing levels, training, and performance. Support the floristry department, which currently has 2-3 florists, and help drive growth in contract and installation work. Oversee plant and product deliveries, replenishment, and merchandising. Maintain high standards of health & safety and customer service. Work closely with the business owners to drive sales and improve site performance. Lead by example on the shop floor - this is a practical, active role. About You Strong horticultural or plant-focused retail background. Experience managing or leading in a busy, customer-facing retail environment. Confident in supporting and coaching a developing team. Organised, energetic, and solutions-focused - with a real "get up and-go" attitude. Passionate about plants, flowers, design, and creative retail environments. Comfortable managing both lifestyle retail and floristry operations. Perks & Benefits Salary £33,000-£35,000 + potential to earn up to 20% on top through performance bonuses. Join a passionate, close-knit, values-led team. Work directly with engaged, hands-on business owners who provide support and mentorship. Opportunity to shape and grow an expanded retail and floristry hub. Apply Now Interested in learning more?Contact Leo Novakovic at leo@morepeople.co.uk or call 01780 480 530. #J-18808-Ljbffr
