Store Manager (Wine Jobs: Management & Administration)

Full Time

  Vagabond Wines (http://www.vagabondwines.co.uk)

  London Based, England

This is a fantastic opportunity to join the Vagabond Wine team as Store Manager for one of our up and coming branches.

An early pioneer on the London ‘enoteca’ scene, Vagabond is a popular wine bar and award-winning wine merchant. Since our start in 2010, we’ve had a single-minded focus on catering to everyone who likes wine but doesn’t know much about it. For these folks, most other wine merchants are too snooty and traditional wine bars are dull and cheesy. We banished all that needless fuss, and simply focus on good, interesting wine from around the world. 

We are seeking an experienced store manager with a passion for wines and craft beers and spirits.

 We believe that this is an exciting proposal for the right person – someone who is a great team player, but a natural leader, who thrives on smashing targets and devising creative ideas to boost sales.

As Manager you will be responsible for a team of staff, planning rotas, arranging holiday cover, banking, ensuring that all key lines are always in stock, that pricing is accurate and relevant, and that health and safety at the shop is up to date.

You will also be responsible for hosting regular trade and private masterclasses. Within your role you will also be targeted on bringing in new local trade business and generally gaining positive PR for the shop.

 

Required Skills

•   Management experience in a wine merchant environment and a clear understanding of stock control

•   Experience in managing a team

•   Managing rotas

•   Strong administration & computer skills

•   Strong drinks knowledge

•   Experience in bar and retail

 

Preferred Skills and experience

•   Events experience

•   On trade experience

•   Good wine knowledge – Minimum WSET level 3 or equivalent

•   Excellent organisational, numerical and written skills

 

Salary & Benefits

•   Competitive salary based on experience

•   Bonus

•   28 days’ holiday

•   Study Potential

•   Staff Trips

•   Staff discounts

•   Potential Equity after continuous service
