- A department that trades strongly, looks brilliant and delivers five-star service
- A motivated, multiskilled team who feel supported, challenged and proud of what they deliver
- Clear ownership of standards, safety, availability and operational excellence
- Strong commercial results driven by insight, pace and great leadership
- A culture where people feel valued, developed and excited to grow with M&S
What we’re looking for
- Proven experience leading teams in a fast-paced retail or customer-focused environment
- Strong commercial awareness with the confidence to use data and insight to drive results
- The ability to coach, develop and performance-manage with clarity and empathy
- Confidence having constructive, sometimes difficult conversations
- A resilient, adaptable mindset with the energy to lead through change
- Digital confidence and a willingness to embrace new ways of working
- A natural role model for great service, inclusion and M&S behaviours
