Swas Trading 2ic - Warehouse Stationery, Whakatane (Part-Time)

The Warehouse is the brand that began it all. Founded in 1982 by Sir Stephen Tindall, the first ‘red shed’ challenged established retailers and proved popular with customers as a result of its simple style, and wide range of products at bargain prices. The Warehouse has become a Kiwi household name, and we proudly recognise the role that we play in communities throughout New Zealand.

Since 1991, Warehouse Stationery has also been successfully innovating in the stationery-retail sector and overtime we have incorporated more of this business within The Warehouse stores as a ‘Store within a Store’ (SWAS) to serve our valued customers with a true ‘one stop shop’ for all their personal, household and office needs.

The SWAS Trading 2IC role supports the Trading Manager in all areas of Stationery, Entertainment and Technology. It assists with the delivery and maintenance of merchandising standards, Managers Trading Plan and oversees the implementation of planograms, ensuring price integrity and availability meets customer expectations.

The role will take accountability for the Trading Manager role in the Trading Managers absence so this is a fantastic opportunity to demonstrate your potential in leadership, and everything you do will contribute to a positive customer experience, an engaged team and a profitable store.

Ideally you will have:

• Some demonstrated leadership skills or experience
• The ability to interpret and execute plans with a good eye for detail
• Good written and verbal communication skills

It isn't a fluke that we've won 'best workplace' five years in a row, and 'retail employer of the year' for three years running and we can talk for days about our additional leave options, wellness programmes, and range of discounts that are available. But there's more to it than that. It's the trust, support & flexibility within our team that sets us apart.
