Work-Force
Listing live now. We believe great workplaces are built on great people. We are looking for a Store Manager in Kempton Park, and we encourage applicants from across Gauteng to consider this opportunity.
About the Opportunity
This Store Manager role sits within the retail jobs function in Kempton Park. It offers a defined scope, clear measures of success, and the support of an experienced team across Gauteng.
Communication runs both ways. Managers across the retail jobs team in Gauteng make time for one-to-ones, and people are expected to speak up early when something needs attention.
Stakeholders for this position include line managers, peers across the retail jobs team and trusted external partners. Building those relationships early makes the next twelve months in Kempton Park much easier.
Quality is everyone’s job. Whether the Store Manager is processing a transaction, supporting a colleague or handling a customer query, the standard expected in Gauteng is consistently high and consistently fair.
Day in the Life
Your day usually starts before the doors open, walking the floor, checking displays and making sure tills are float-ready. As customers arrive, you switch into service mode, moving between till points, fitting rooms and the stockroom, helping shoppers find what they need and keeping a quiet eye on shrinkage. By the afternoon, you might be receiving a delivery, training a new team member or planning the next promotion, and by close of business you’re cashing up, balancing reports and getting the store ready to do it all again tomorrow.
No two days look exactly the same — and that variety is part of what keeps the role engaging for the right candidate in Kempton Park.
The Kempton Park office buzzes through peak hours and settles into focused, productive lulls in between, giving you time to plan and reset before the next stretch of work.
Equally, the rhythm rewards people who plan ahead but also pivot quickly when Gauteng operations throw up the unexpected.
What We Offer
You will join a team that values respectful collaboration, honest feedback and shared wins. The Kempton Park colleagues take pride in supporting one another and in doing the retail jobs side of the business properly, day in and day out.
Career development may be available depending on the role, business needs and the hiring organisation’s policies.
Crucially, the role’s development opportunities, training and benefits, if offered, will be set out in the final vacancy details.
Importantly, the package, working arrangements and any available support will be confirmed by the hiring organisation for this vacancy.
