My client is on the hunt for a dynamic and experienced Store Manager to lead the opening of their newest bakery in Auckland. With a strong brand and growing customer demand, this is a unique opportunity to take ownership of a store from the ground up—and grow with it.

About the Role
This is more than just a Store Manager role. You’ll be the face of the bakery, responsible for setting the tone, building the team, and delivering an exceptional retail experience.

• 30 hours to start with a path to full-time as the store grows
• Weekend work is essential to start.
• Full autonomy over daily operations—but support is close by, with our nearby production kitchen and NPD (new product development) team.

Key Responsibilities

• Run the store like it’s your own – from stock and inventory management to POS operations.
• Manage the store roster.
• Maintain high standards of presentation, product rotation, and customer service.
• Move fast and stay organised – our products are fast-moving, and our customers expect the best.
• Liaise with the wider team on product feedback and performance.

What We’re Looking For

• Retail management experience is a must – ideally in fast-moving consumer goods.
• Someone who’s not afraid to get stuck in, take ownership, and lead from the front.
• Strong communication skills and a confident, engaging personality.
• A keen eye for detail and pride in delivering a polished, premium store experience.
• Able to work independently.

Why Join Us?
We know what good looks like. With several successful stores already thriving, we’re building something special. This is a chance to play a key role in that journey—and be part of a brand that’s growing fast.
