Awesome Assistant Manager Wanted

So, you’ve got some budding managerial skills that you’d like to lend to a fun, ever-growing company with a family vibe? Sounds like we’ll get along just fine!

Brand New Store!!

We’re putting together a team of awesome people for our Menkind store in Hempstead York, Designer Outlet centre, and we’d love for you to check us out. We’re pretty sure you’ll love us, and here’s why…

What You’ll Get

Cool career opportunities – Gift Universe is made up of some super strong brands like Menkind, RED5, Qwerkity, Hawkins, and Prezzybox and we’re always expanding, meaning there’s lots of opportunities to grow. Just ask some of our employees who’ve come in as retail team members and now run their own stores!

Fun, not humdrum – We’re all about making people happy, not just with the cool things that we sell, but with the fun vibe in our stores. When you come to work, you’ll be surrounded by pop culture, retro games, exciting tech and gadgets, and lots of smiling customer faces.

Family feel – You’ll work with all kinds of interesting people, like anime fans, comic book lovers, musicians, family people, film buffs, students, artists, and much more. Some love their tattoos, others dress to impress, but everyone’s a part of the family and you’ll make amazing friends.

Discounted gifts – Oh yeah, you get up to 30% off all the awesome goodies that we sell for as long as you’re with us. Need we say more? We’ll leave it at that.

What You’ll Bring

The energy – You’ll be out there showing your team members how it’s done. Teach them how to make customers feel special and have them leave the store looking forward to their next visit.

The experience – It would be super cool if you know a thing or two about sales in a busy environment. Develop a new or existing team, help them better their customer engagement, and drive those sales like they’re a brand new rental car!

The positive attitude – Hey, we all have our off days but you don’t unload on people. You stay pretty upbeat and positive and tackle any challenge that’s thrown your way.

Job Purpose

As Assistant Manager you’ll assist the Store Manager in achieving the business goals. You’ll be important in making sure the operational and commercial standards stay high. You’ll also create an awesome environment for our customers while driving sales, controlling costs, and making sure we’re as profitable as we can be.
