About the role
Reporting to the Vice President, Retail who is based at our Head Office in Sydney, the Regional Manager, Victoria has end-to-end accountability for the commercial and operational performance of our Victorian direct to consumer retail portfolio.
You will oversee approximately 25 locations across Melbourne, including owned and operated full-price and outlet stores together with our department store sales locations.
The portfolio is geographically broad, extending across Melbourne from Moorabbin to Essendon, Uni Hill and surrounding locations. This is a highly visible field leadership role requiring regular travel across the store network and significant time spent in stores with our teams.
You will lead two Area Managers who are based in Melbourne together with a number of Store Managers directly, with the structure potentially comprising 10+ direct reports. Given the scale of our Victorian outlet business, you will also have significant direct leadership responsibility for some of our key outlet locations.
Importantly, you will be the critical link between our Head Office and store teams.
You will translate company, brand and retail priorities into clear actions for the Victorian network, ensuring they are understood and consistently executed in stores. Equally, you will bring the voice of the stores back into the business - providing Head Office teams with meaningful insight into trading performance, consumer behaviour, operational challenges and opportunities across the market.
This role combines significant commercial accountability with hands-on retail leadership. You’ll need to be equally comfortable reviewing P&L and performance with senior leaders, partnering with Head Office functions and spending time on the shop floor coaching a Store Manager on how to improve results.
