Store Manager

The role of the Store Manager will take full ownership of the store, keeping operations running brilliantly from stock to service standards while using sound commercial judgement to create a delightful customer experience and strong, steady business results. How We Lead at Boden Being a manager at Boden is about giving people clarity, backing them properly, and helping them do their best work. You make things make sense. You take big ideas and turn them into clear priorities, so people know what they’re doing and (most importantly) why it matters. Your communication is clear and open - you listen and you don’t overcomplicate things. You take responsibility. When big decisions need to be made, you make them. When things change, you adapt. And when things don’t go to plan, you own it and move things forward. You stay close to what matters - our customer, our brand and our goals - using that to guide decisions and keep teams aligned. Most importantly, you build a team people actually want to be part of - where people feel trusted, supported and able to grow. Role Responsibilities:
