Store Manager Designate

Role overview 

Are you interested in becoming a Retail Store Manager with one of the UK’s leading eyecare providers and selling premium eyewear brands such as Ray-Ban, Oakley and Prada? 

At Vision Express we are currently looking for a Retail Store Manager Designate to support our stores across the Gloucester areas including regular travel to locations such as Evesham, Cheltenham and Gloucester. As this role will require regular travel, the successful applicant will need to have a full UK driving license and access to their own vehicle. Travel expenses will be provided to locations agreed outside of your regular base store. 

As part of your induction as a Store Manager Designate, you will be based in the Gloucester store, where you will work alongside an experienced store manager with a team of 8 colleagues.

Although the hours of this role are advertised, if this sounds like the role for you, we'd love to hear about your ideal working week. Whether this is hours to fit around the school run or you prefer a compressed week - we are open to discussing flexible options with you further.
