Assistant Manager- Leumeah

Looking for Our Next Trade Superstar

(Also known as: Assistant Store Manager)

Are you the kind of leader who knows their way around a toolbox? Do you know how to tighten the bolts on performance while keeping team morale well-oiled? Can you balance sales targets, rosters and results like a perfectly level shelf? Do P&L reports, KPIs and stock turns feel like tools you know how to use - not paperwork to avoid?

If that sounds like you, we’d love you to help keep our store running smoothly.

About The Store

Hudson Mitre 10 Leumeah is a proudly family-owned business with strong community roots and a trade-focused operation supporting local builders, contractors and volume customers. This is not a typical retail store - it’s a hands-on, fast-moving trade environment where operational excellence and strong team leadership are key.

What You’ll Be Working On

Think of this role as keeping the whole operation solid, straight and built to last:

• Leading, motivating and supporting your team with clear direction and purpose

• Building a strong, practical team culture where everyone pulls their weight

• Coaching, mentoring and developing team members on the floor

• Managing wages and rosters with precision

• Staying on top of admin, systems and reporting

• Identifying cost leaks and keeping the budget firmly under control

• Protecting store assets and ensuring safe, secure operations

• Analysing trading results and turning numbers into action

• Ensuring the right products are ranged, stocked and well-presented

• Delivering outstanding customer service, every single day

What You’ll Bring to the Job

• Proven leadership experience in trade (timber or hardware a huge plus)

• Clear, confident communication skills

• The ability to stay calm, focused and organised when things get busy

• Building and maintaining strong relationships with builders, contractors and volume trade customers

• A hands-on, practical approach with a strong sense of accountability

• Confidence using systems, reports and spreadsheets

• A forklift licence (highly regarded)

You’ll Thrive Here If You:

• Put customers at the centre of everything you do

• Enjoy improving the way things are done and sharing new ideas

• Value teamwork, collaboration and mutual respect

• Care about safety, strong processes and developing people for the long term
