Retail Manager

Your role will be to develop and manage our two independent stores. Gear is our clothing store which exclusively sells University of Leeds branded clothing and Union Shop is our newest store, which sells stationery, greetings cards and gifts. This is a unique role in retail terms because it requires our manager to operate the full remit that an independent retail outlet needs. This means not only managing the regular day-to-day operations for both stores, but in addition you will manage purchasing, continually develop the product range, create a trading calendar, and gradually build a great deal of autonomy into your role. And of course, you will work with the team to deliver amazing customer service both in store and via our Gear website.

Leeds University Union is a special place to work and what we do is pretty special too. We are a charity that helps over 38,000 students to love their time at Leeds. Located at the heart of campus, the Union is a space for our students to meet people, make new friends, and get involved.
