Head of Retail - North

Job description

Head of Retail - North | North of England

Salary £DOE

This isn't a head office role.

This is full regional accountability.

You'll own the retail performance of a significant garden centre group across the North - leading through Regional Managers to deliver sales, margin, standards and customer experience.

What You'll Be Measured On

  • Sales and profit growth
  • Margin and labour control
  • Stock discipline and waste
  • Retail standards and audit scores
  • Strength of your Regional Managers

If the numbers move, you'll know why.
If performance dips, you'll act fast.

The Reality

You won't run stores day-to-day.

You'll build the structure that ensures they perform.

That means:

  • Coaching and stretching Regional Managers
  • Embedding consistent retail standards
  • Driving operational discipline
  • Using data to make sharp commercial decisions
  • Partnering cross-functionally to remove blockers

About You

You're already leading large multi-site retail estates (40+ sites ideally).

You've delivered profit growth.
You've developed senior operators.
You're commercially decisive and comfortable being held accountable.

You're as credible in a store walk as you are in a boardroom.

Why This Role?

High visibility.
High impact.
Real influence over retail strategy and execution.

If you want proper ownership of performance - not just oversight - this is worth a conversation.
