You will be responsible for:
Becoming a manager in a Tesco store and leading by example to serve Britain's Shoppers a Little Better Every day. As a Lead Manager you will have your own management team to guide and will often be the most senior colleague in the store, responsible for ensuring the best possible service for our colleagues and customers.

It’s a chance to apply your management skills, experience and instincts to chase opportunities, improve ways of working and get things right for our customers. You’ll be a role model, helping colleagues to know and love our products and services, involving everyone in community projects and proving what we can achieve together. You’ll grow your own team by spotting talent and giving them feedback and support to be their best.

We’ll look to you to maximise sales, impact and presentation for your department, while ensuring everything is safe and compliant, and everyone is in the right place at the right time. This role is about leading from the front on the store floor with your colleagues and customers.

Do you have the attitude, aptitude and aspiration to be a great retail manager? This role is for those who love retail, with a focus on putting people at the heart of everything you do.

You will be:

• Talking to colleagues to share and encourage new ideas and best practice
• Warm and welcoming, taking time to recognise and listen to others
• Building a strong team spirit and a network of relationships that stretches beyond the store

• Look ahead and seize opportunities
• Act quickly to do what's right for colleagues and customers
• Thrive on change and lead people through it together
• Know how to be at your best and exceed expectations
