Join our brand new store Majestic Wine Dorking!

Majestic Wine Dorking is looking for a Store Manager..

 

We are looking for a Store Manager to join us as we continue to grow our business through an exciting new venture. We believe that this success will come through our very own Majestic people and where better to start than right at the heart of our internal talent.

 

Do you fancy earning an additional bonus of up to £6,000?

We are excited to announce the introduction of a new pay enhancement scheme for Managers of our new stores which gives them the opportunity to earn an additional £6,000.

In addition to the usual base salary and recognition increments (Turnover, WSET & Experience), these Managers will see themselves earning an additional £1,500 every 6 months for two years if they demonstrate commitment to the store by achieving the business case sales targets (which has been attained in every new store we have opened so far!)

 

After opening nine new stores since the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic, with ambitions to add 20 more branches to our impressive portfolio, Majestic is one of the few retailers in the country that is expanding our bricks and mortar business. We now need a fantastic new store team to help us continue that physical retail growth in East Dulwich.

Joining our team will offer you an incredible opportunity to develop and grow one of our new stores in what is a brand new location for Majestic. You’ll be leading the charge for experience-based retail, wowing a raft of new and high-value customers with your brilliant knowledge, service and passion - in a superb site we’ve long had our eye on. This is a great chance to be at the forefront of our store opening strategy in a very promising location.
