What we’re looking for

• Someone who feels at home with our values: tight-knit, down-to-earth, and constantly improving
• Experience in optics is highly regarded; alternatively, if you have supervisory or management experience in retail, hospitality or similar and are keen to learn - we are keen to teach! so we strongly encourage you to apply.

• Passionate about creating great customer experiences
• Strong commercial acumen and a consistent focus on achieving strong results
