OVERSEAS STORE MANAGER - QATAR

Michelle Harrison

EXCELLENT OVERSEAS OPPORTUNITIES - QATAR

STORE MANAGER - QATAR

THE ROLE

A successful Store Manager for Berluti will need to be well experienced in fashion retail and understand what it takes to truely be an ambasador for a brand. Customer experience is paramount in order to create an experience that sets the brand apart from any other.

MAIN RESPONSIBILITIES

Increase store performance : responsibility on the results of the store
Management of the sales staff: manage the team and organize the work in the store
Management of daily activities : manage all operations needed in order to run the store properly (product orders, storage organization, accounting, cash reconciliation) and maintain the store at the quality level required by Berluti on the selling floor (windows, merchandising) but also at the back office and in the stock
Representation of Berluti: build and develop a regular clientele faithful to the brand; participate as the ambassador of the brand at all public events that could promote the image, the name and the Berluti products. Work in collaboration with the Communication Manager and Retail manager (Paris headquarters) and be proactive on all communication / business actions that could develop the turnover and the brand notoriety.

PROFILE

Here are the different characteristics that we take into account in order to find the ideal candidate:

Acting skills: we consider that to sell Berluti shoes is to be like "an actor" on stage. The store manager and the sales persons have to act in order to make the customer dream, and have a unique experience. The Berluti sale experience is very sophisticated and strictly regulated: the customer's needs to have the impression that they are entering into a different and magic world. At Berluti you do not simply buy shoes or accessories, you enter into the magic of a unique retail experience, at Berluti, the customer is everything. The manager needs to treat him as a unique individual and this is the reason why it is essential to find a candidate able, of course, to carry out this role.
Cultural knowledge: Berluti customers are usually educated and sophisticated and therefore demanding clients. A Berluti store manager must be able to interest the customer and communicate with them at their level, not only talk about shoes but specially be able to maintain conversation with them on any cultural subjects. To give an example we have a Store Manager in Paris who, prior to joining Berluti, was a book seller and a great culture of literature which they utilized to entertain the customers. Thus the customers are coming frequently to their store..... A Berluti Shop is not only a store; it is almost like a Club.
Public relation skills: Our Store Managers need to know their customers. It is very important for them to be part of the social life and establish a special relationship (while keeping professional distance) with their customers even outside of the store, attending some dinners, receptions, etc. This is the public relation aspect, a key aspect for Berluti. If the successful candidate could be part of a private club for example, and thus be able to communicate around Berluti and promote the image of the brand. Our employees are our key ambassadors.
Selling skills: in addition he will have well honed selling skills. Especially be able to understand who the person is he/she has in front of them. Be able to recognize and predetermine what the customer desires. He does not need to have a specific sale shoes experience. He must be able to grow his sales associates in the Berluti sales technique, motivate them and transmit the messages of Olga Berluti.

THE ROLE

You'll be responsible for helping drive forward a real revolution in forecourt retail and lead a team of between 15 and 35 Customer Service Assistants. The standards you set for customer service levels will be impressive. As will the slick way you run operations.

You'll also be expected to manage Health and Safety and Employee Relations issues on site.

In short the budget and profit of the store - and the happiness of your staff and customers - will all be in your hands. You've already proved, through your experience in a retail management role, that you're a diplomat, salesperson, motivator, logistics whiz and entrepreneur all rolled into one. Now be part of an exciting new venture that will permanently change the nature of forecourt retail.

legally entitled to work and be resident of the UK
have a full, clean driving license
to have no unspent criminal convictions

WORKING FOR BP

BP is a major global player. Every day, they serve around 13 million customers in more than 100 countries across six continents. BP see their retail brand as a vital part of our future growth and success. Their forecourt business is already going from strength to strength as they've bought in a succession of innovations. For example, the Wild Bean Cafés, where customers can pick up everything from a freshly ground coffee, tempting sweet treats and mouth watering savouries, are becoming increasingly popular.

Combine this with their Ultimate Fuels, and BP's multi-branded impulse offer and you'll see the secret of BP's success. In 2006, they won both the National Convenience Chain of the Year, and Forecourt Retailer of the Year in the Retail Industry awards. Just as importantly, in the CTP awards - voted for by the shoppers themselves - BP pulled in a whole host of accolades.

BP AND M&S

BP Retail are always trying to innovate - to bring better and better products to people on the move. And there can be few brands that offer more delicious - even sumptuous - food than Marks & Spencer. M&S Simply Food is the ideal fit for people on the go, bringing customers food of the very highest quality, and transforming the forecourt retail experience.

Marks and Spencer is one of the UK's leading retailers of clothing, food, home products and financial services. They employ 68,000 employees in 30 countries, have more than 500 stores and serve tens of millions of customers each and every week. Their aim is to take their food out to more locations making it easily accessible for their customers.

TRAINING AND BENEFITS

Only the best will do for M&S and BP customers. So your training will be second to none. Of course, BP are equally passionate about giving their people the best rewards - hence the extensive benefits package you will receive. It's a very exciting new venture with M&S and as such, BP are determined to make it a big success. They we'll be giving you the very best training, to ensure you've got all the tools you need to be a great member of the management team in one of their new stores.

When you start, you will be placed in a training store for 12 weeks - which means you'll have the benefit of an experienced manager on hand whilst you get to grips with new systems and find your feet. BP also provides you with cutting edge, interactive E-Learning, which hosts a suit of courses that will provide you with the legal know-how to do your job. Finally, every month BP give you a review, to check your progress, which will be supported by one to one coaching from a Field Trainer.

Of course, as you continue to work, there'll be plenty more development opportunities in the pipeline. As you'd expect from a company of BP's size and reputation, they take care of their people with great benefits. You'll have the chance to earn a bonus every quarter, which will be based on the performance of your site. They will give you 23 days' holiday a year (increasing to 25 days after 4 years). What's more, you can join their pension scheme the moment you start work. When you contribute 2% of your salary, BP will contribute between 5% and 8% depending on how long you've been in the scheme.

BP will also give you great financial services, insurance and lifestyle benefits. From discounts on home, motor and travel insurance to employee health insurance from as little as £13.75, you can be covered for less. Then there are all the lifestyle perks. Like low cost membership of Fitness First Health clubs, UK hotel breaks with up to 70% off, and a 20% discount on tailoring services. Not to mention discounts on toys, flowers, wine, pictures and car hire.

It all adds up to one of the best benefits packages around!
