Job description

Overview

Location : UK-wide, regular store visits required. Salary : £80,000 – £100,000. Reports to : CEO.

As a fast-growing fashion jewellery brand with ambitious store roll out plans, we are seeking a Head of Retail to take full ownership of retail operations and play a defining role in our growth story.

This role isn’t for someone who just wants to manage stores - it’s for a retail rockstar. Someone who thrives on pace, pressure, and challenge. Someone ambitious, fresh, and driven - ready to step up from running a territory of 20–30+ stores to shaping the retail engine of a brand in rapid growth.

You’ll be hands-on in stores, pushing teams to deliver their best, while also steering strategy, recruitment, compliance, and operational excellence. Always going above and beyond, you’ll bring energy and vision, ensuring every store is a true brand experience while delivering sharp commercial results.

What You’ll Do

  • Lead, inspire, and support Regional / Area Managers across the UK, setting clear standards and expectations.
  • Take full ownership of recruitment operations and rotas with Regional Managers, ensuring stores are staffed efficiently with the right teams at the right times to budget.
  • Drive consistent retail performance with a laser focus on sales, profitability, and customer-first execution.
  • Oversee retail operations and visual merchandising across stores, embedding best practice and consistent brand standards.
  • Act as the link between boardroom strategy and in-store execution, making growth plans real.
  • Partner with the CEO on sales performance, growth strategy, and retail expansion.
  • Lead and deliver multiple new store openings – managing everything from recruitment and training through to operations and customer launch.
  • Work with local councils and authorities to ensure all piercing services meet compliance and licensing requirements.
  • Take full accountability for P&L performance across the retail estate.

What You’ll Bring

  • Proven leadership experience overseeing a portfolio of 20–30+ retail stores (fashion, jewellery, beauty, or lifestyle preferred).
  • Proven track record of leading successful new store openings — across operations, recruitment, training, and compliance.
  • Experience engaging with councils and local authorities to secure licences and ensure regulatory compliance (particularly for piercing or other regulated services).
  • A hunger to step up into a bigger role with full end-to-end retail responsibility.
  • A track record of driving sales growth, efficiency, and customer engagement at scale.
  • Energy, ambition, and the ability to inspire teams at every level.
  • Strong commercial acumen, with P&L accountability experience.
  • Resilience, adaptability, and a love of pace and pressure.
  • Hands-on approach - thrives on being in stores, not just behind a desk.
  • New Store Openings & Launch Management
  • Regulatory Compliance & Council Engagement
  • Recruitment & Workforce Planning
  • Retail Operations & Inventory Management
  • Team Development, Training & Coaching
  • Personal Attributes

  • Thrives in high-pressure, high-growth environments
  • Entrepreneurial and commercially sharp.
  • Tenacious — never settles for “good enough”
  • Results-driven and deadline-focused.
  • Engaging communicator and natural motivator.
  • What’s on Offer

  • Competitive base salary of £80,000 – £100,000
  • Direct reporting line to the CEO with significant influence on retail strategy
  • A career-defining step up into a senior leadership role
  • The chance to shape the customer experience for the UK’s most exciting fashion jewellery brand.
