As a Team Manager in Food, you'll be responsible for leading a team on the shop floor to deliver exceptional availability, 5-star service, and commercial results. This is not a back-office role. It's a frontline leadership position in one of the most competitive retailers in UK.

You'll need to be commercially sharp, operationally resilient, and relentless in your standards. Whether you're managing stock, coaching your team, or solving problems, you'll move with purpose and lead by example. This is your chance to step into a high-impact role and help shape the future of M&S Food as we push the boundaries in our transformation.

  • Lead and coach a team to deliver consistently under pressure. You'll set the pace, build capability, and hold the line on standards.
  • From sales and standards to availability and team performance, you'll make things happen and take accountability when things don't go to plan
  • Work across departments to deliver a seamless customer experience. You'll need to collaborate fast, fix problems early, leading with pace and purpose.
  • Drive commercial performance. You'll understand the numbers, translate them into action, and help your team stay laser-focused on what matters.
  • This is a big job - with big expectations. But for the right leader, it's the start of something game-changing.
