Job Description
Company Description
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.
Job Description
The SWAS Trading Manager is responsible for the Stationery shop floor area, including the print and copy centre, as well as the Entertainment and Technology area of The Warehouse.
Leading the teams of those areas, you will deliver and maintain blue-print and merchandising standards and deliver the trading plans, overseeing the implementation and maintenance of planograms and ensuring pricing integrity and availability meets expectations.
You will also provide support for the opening and closing of the store and take on sole charge of the entire store when required.

Everything you do will contribute to a positive customer experience, an engaged team and a profitable store

It's the trust, support & flexibility within our team that sets us apart. We have a framework to help you get things done, but you have the freedom to make the real magic happen in your store.
