Store Manager | Queenstown

The Brand: 
Love books, giftware, games, stationery and creating a store experience customers genuinely enjoy coming back to? This is one of those roles that rarely come up in Queenstown.

Our client is a much-loved New Zealand retail brand with stores nationwide, known for creating engaging, customer-first shopping experiences across books, games, stationery, gifts and lifestyle products. They are now searching for an energetic and people-focused Store Manager to lead their Queenstown store.

What’s in it for you:
  • Up to $65k base salary + annual bonus opportunity
  • Tuesday - Saturday roster for work/life balance
  • Lead a fun, close-knit team of 6-8 staff
  • Generous staff discounts across the wider group
  • Join a stable, nationally recognised retailer with strong support and systems
The Role: This is a hands-on leadership role where no two days are the same. You’ll be responsible for leading from the front, creating an engaging customer experience and driving strong commercial results across the store.

You’ll be involved in:
  • Leading, coaching and motivating your team to success
  • Driving sales, KPI performance and customer engagement
  • Staff training, development and performance management
  • Rostering, wage control and day-to-day operations
  • Stock management, loss prevention and visual merchandising
  • Creating a positive, high-energy culture in store
What we’re looking for:
  • Previous retail leadership experience as a Store Manager or experienced Assistant Manager
  • A confident, engaging and hands-on leadership style
  • Strong operational and organisational skills
  • Passion for customer service and creating a fun in-store environment
  • A genuine love for books, giftware, stationery, games or lifestyle retail
This is a rare opportunity to join a well-established retailer in one of New Zealand’s most sought-after locations. If you’re a people-first leader who loves retail, culture and creating memorable customer experiences — we’d love to hear from you.
