    Merchant 1948 | Footwear with heritage, designed for modern life

    We’re Merchant 1948 – a New Zealand family business putting shoes on feet since 1948. With over 30 stores across Aotearoa and Melbourne, we’ve built a reputation for premium leather footwear, considered design, and warm, expert service. Our stores are more than retail spaces, they’re places where generations of customers come for timeless style, great craftsmanship, and genuine connection.

    Ready to lead your own store?

    We’re looking for a confident and experienced Store Manager to lead our team at Merchant 1948 Bayfair store. You’ll be responsible for running the day-to-day operations, coaching and developing your team, and creating a positive, high-performing store environment. This is a great opportunity for someone with a passion for people and product – someone who loves sales, thrives in a fast-paced setting, and leads with care, confidence, and energy.

    Here’s what’s on offer:

    • Role: Store Manager

      • Friday: 8:30am - 3pm
      • Saturday: 8:30am - 6pm
    • Minimum Hours: 40 hours per week
    • Salary: $65,000 per annum + bonus potential! 

    What your day will look like:

    • Leading and managing the daily operations of your store
    • Coaching your team to deliver great results and memorable customer experiences
    • Driving sales and motivating your team to exceed targets
    • Championing a fun, inclusive, and supportive team culture
    • Overseeing store presentation, stock levels and visual merchandising
    • Managing admin, reporting and other key operational tasks

    You’ll thrive in this role if you:

    • Have retail leadership experience and a track record of results
    • Are passionate about developing others and building a strong team
    • Lead by example with a positive, proactive approach
    • Are confident managing performance, processes and priorities
    • Take pride in delivering great service and high store standards
    • Are aligned with our values and excited to represent our brand

    What you’ll get from us:

    • A free pair of shoes every season
    • Monthly bonus potential
    • Generous team discounts
    • Referral bonuses when you bring great people into the team
    • Supportive leadership and clear development pathways
    • Access to EAP when you need extra support
