Every day, we give our millions of customers the ideas, advice, tools, and confidence they need to create a home they’ll love. Join us as a Sales Team Manager and you will be pivotal in driving sales across our showroom and TradePoint departments.

At B&Q, we’re passionate about progression and we’re committed to growing talent from within. We also recognise the important experience that new leaders add, onboarding several designate managers through the year.

As a B&Q designate manager, you’ll have the unique opportunity to learn about us and our business, typically spending 3-6 months working across a cluster of stores (in the Beckton, Leyton & Ilford area).

Due to the nature of this role, there’ll be some flexibility and travel required during your time as a designate, before being placed within a store that matches your experience within 50 miles or 1 hr of where you live.

You’ll bring together dynamic, sales-focused teams and create a culture where every colleague is confident, proactive, and laser-focused on fulfilling B&Q’s ambition of making every customer count. You’ll make a real difference through sales coaching and performance leadership and build a high-performing team. In this role you will:

• Support our sales colleagues to build deep product knowledge and be confident to sell.
• Use customer insights and performance data to spot opportunities and respond at pace.
• Build strong local customer relationships, with a focus on Tradespeople.

• Are comfortable having meaningful discussions about performance.
• At your best building rapport with customers and colleagues.
• Like to be well planned and organised and thrive in being agile with your plans when needed.
• Natural analytical rigour and can spot opportunities to increase sales.

As part of a great team, you’ll be valued for who you are. We’re committed to making B&Q more diverse and representative of the communities we serve, where everyone can feel they belong and have equal opportunities. You will have access to a range of networks that represent our colleagues and allies and help us to continue to put diversity and inclusion at the heart of our business.
