This is a current vacancy. Role: Store Manager. Location: Westville, KwaZulu-Natal. The team is hiring and seeks a candidate who can step in and deliver from week one.
Overview

On top of that, the role has been written to be sustainable, not just busy. Strong output is expected, and managers in Westville also pay attention to recovery, learning and the kind of breathing room that keeps people doing good work over time.

What Your Day Looks Like
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.
Equally, the Westville 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 KwaZulu-Natal operations throw up the unexpected.
