The Opportunity
Ready to step into a serious leadership role with one of the most respected names in global footwear and lifestyle? This Christchurch store is a genuine powerhouse — consistently sitting as one of the top two highest-turnover locations in the country. The culture is tight, the team is loyal, and the standards are high.

We're looking for a driven ASM to partner with the existing Store Manager and help keep this store at the front of the pack.

What's On Offer
  • Salary: $59k - $62k base (negotiable for the right person)
  • Roster: Sunday to Thursday, 38 hours — no rotating shifts, no late nights
  • Uniform: Full head-to-toe branded kit refreshed every 6 months
  • Incentives: Monthly store bonus, KPI voucher rewards, and team-based competitions
  • Leadership: You'll be working alongside an exceptional Store Manager with nearly a decade of tenure in this store — someone who is laid-back, highly supportive, and leads from the floor, not from an office.
The Role
This is a hands-on, high-energy position where you'll co-run daily operations and mentor a team that genuinely enjoys what they do. Day-to-day you'll be:
  • Leading, coaching and developing a tight crew of upto 10 staff
  • Driving sales, hitting conversion targets and delivering elite customer service
  • Holding the floor to a high visual merchandising standard
  • Building a culture where the team pulls their weight and actually wants to be there
  • Running the store end-to-end in the Store Manager's absence
What We're Looking For
  • Proven experience as an Assistant Store Manager — or a strong Senior Supervisor ready to take the next step
  • A natural leader who knows how to motivate staff and lead from the front
  • Commercially sharp — you understand retail KPIs and how to drive numbers through customer engagement
  • Practical, down-to-earth and collaborative — happy to own and master the ASM seat and seeking role stabilty 
  • Full NZ Working Rights 
How to Apply
If you're ready to take ownership of a top-performing store and make a real impact, hit apply with your CV — or reach out for a confidential chat.
