What You’ll Be Doing

As an Assistant Store Manager, you'll be the Store Manager's trusted 2IC and a visible leader on the floor. You'll help provide reliable opening and closing coverage, lead from the counter, coach the team and keep the store running safely and efficiently. You'll build confidence with trade contractors and DIY customers, drive sales and key store results, and maintain strong operational standards across cash, inventory, merchandising and customer service. This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who stays organised under pressure, takes ownership and is motivated by both a well-presented store and strong commercial performance.

This is a full-time role of 38 hours per week based at our Carnegie, VIC, Paint Spot Store. Our trade retail environment operates across a seven-day roster, so regular weekend availability and flexibility to support opening and closing coverage are important parts of the role.
