Help us grow shops that change lives — for pets and people
At Blue Cross, our shops do more than sell pre-loved treasures - they help fund vital care for pets in need. Every new shop means more tails wagging, more purrs of comfort and more lives transformed. We're looking for someone who can spot a great opportunity, loves a challenge and wants to use their retail experience to make a real difference.

More about the role
In this varied and hands-on role, you'll play a key part in driving efficiency and value across our national retail estate. Working closely with the Group Head of Fundraising and Retail and the Retail Operations Manager, you'll identify opportunities to reduce costs, streamline processes, and maximise the return on every pound we spend.

You'll collaborate with colleagues across the charity to review spend areas such as repairs, maintenance, and utilities, ensuring we're achieving best value through effective supplier management and smarter ways of working.

Alongside this, you'll lead on identifying and assessing new shop locations, managing relationships with agents and landlords, and supporting lease negotiations to secure the most favourable terms. You'll conduct site visits, prepare clear business cases and performance reports, and ensure new shop openings are delivered on time and within budget.

You'll also help existing shops reach their full potential through thoughtful planning, performance analysis, and well-managed refurbishment projects that balance commercial benefit with brand impact.

Every efficiency you deliver and every new shop you help open contributes directly to the vital work Blue Cross does. This is an opportunity to make a real, measurable difference while ensuring our resources go further for the pets and people who rely on us most.

About you
Ideally, you'll have some experience in site acquisition or commercial property evaluation, along with strong organisational and project management skills. You'll understand what makes a shop profitable and sustainable, and you're confident working across different teams to make things happen. A full driving licence is a must.

Essentially:

  • You will have experience in identifying and acquiring retail sites or evaluating commercial properties with potential.
  • You're confident managing multiple projects, priorities and deadlines with calm efficiency.
  • You're comfortable analysing income, forecasts and what it takes for a new shop to succeed.
  • You're a skilled project manager who can see things through from planning to successful delivery.
  • You build strong working relationships with agents, landlords, and contractors, ensuring smooth collaboration at every stage.
  • You hold a full driving licence and are happy to travel across the country.
