Area Leader - Franchising

About the Company:

Established 22 years ago, our client is a “large format” retail group with a national footprint. There are currently 22 sites across Queensland, New South Wales, ACT, Victoria, South Australia and Tasmania, with 11 of those franchised and the remaining 11 company owned.

Based in Eagle Farm, the head office team is well-established, highly collaborative and dedicated to supporting franchisees, store managers and retail staff alike.

Led by a dynamic CEO who has led positive, profitable change for over 12 years, the business continues to experience robust growth and receive outstanding customer reviews. It has a clear strategy designed to maintain that momentum, which includes significant expansion of the group’s franchise network.

About the Role:

You will report to an experienced Head of Retail and play a key role in a team of Area Leaders and Trainers partnering with franchisees and company store managers.

Supported by experienced Marketing, Franchise Development and Finance professionals, you will take ownership of a portfolio of stores in a role which will see you travel regularly interstate and to Regional Queensland.

You will have a clear mission:

• To attract and retain high calibre company store staff, coaching and guiding them to continually higher levels of performance and delivering sustainable store profitability through delighting customers.
• To provide the same level of coaching and guidance to franchisees, helping them create wealth through delivering outstanding customer experiences that lead to profitable, sustainable businesses.  

About You:

You are a retail professional with:

• Proven success in franchised as well as company-owned store environments.
• Experience in large format retail, or environments requiring a consultative selling process rather than a transactional one.
• A demonstrated history of coaching and inspiring individuals and teams to sustainable success, measured by both financial performance and customer feedback.

At a personal level, you:

• Are seeking an opportunity to make a positive, lasting impact in an environment where the difference you make will be both valued and rewarded.
• Appreciate and value the roles played by the people around you and understand that success is the result of a team performing, not just an individual.
