Key Highlights: 1. National and international professional development opportunities. 2. Continuous training in various areas. 3. Lead, motivate, and develop teams to maximise their potential. **Because You Make the Difference** At Primark, we love doing things our way — and that’s how we continue growing and opening new stores worldwide. We offer our customers on-trend fashion at affordable prices, driven by passion, approachability, and commitment. If you identify with these values, join Primark as an Assistant Manager. Because you have the talent to lead teams and maximise results, this is your opportunity to make a real impact as an Assistant Manager. **Because You Matter** People are at the heart of everything we do, so it’s essential we provide you with the right environment to bring out your best. That’s why we offer a comprehensive range of benefits that put you first: * Professional development opportunities at national and international levels within a continuously expanding company. * Our working weeks average five days per week with continuous shifts. * Continuous training in various areas. * Possibility of supporting new store openings in different locations. * Employee discount to purchase items from our fabulous collections. **What Will Your Responsibilities Be?** As Assistant Manager, you will work hand-in-hand with the Store Manager to lead the team and ensure an exceptional in-store shopping experience. You will be responsible for driving sales and optimising commercial performance through strategic planning and flawless execution across all areas. You will ensure stock is always available and well managed to meet customer needs, while also overseeing visual merchandising to create an attractive environment. Additionally, you will collaborate on task and schedule planning to ensure people are always in the right place at the right time. In the Store Manager’s absence, you will assume their role, effectively leading daily store operations. Regarding the team, you will be a role model. You will train, motivate, and develop Primark colleagues to help them reach their full potential, fostering a culture of learning, recognition, and continuous improvement. You will also ensure compliance with policies and procedures, safeguarding safety and promoting ethical and sustainable values within the strategic framework of Primark Cares. **How Would We Like You To Be?** We’re looking for someone with strong leadership skills and experience managing teams — especially in dynamic, high-volume operational environments. We seek individuals who can inspire, motivate, and develop talent, fostering a culture of engagement and high performance. Your commercial acumen will be key, along with the ability to analyse data, identify opportunities, and make strategic decisions to exceed sales targets. Excellent organisational and planning skills are important, as well as the ability to manage complex situations effectively, with a solution-oriented and resilient attitude. We also value clear and inspiring communication skills, building positive relationships with the team and ensuring a consistent flow of information. Prior experience in a similar role is essential. As a company in full expansion, our needs are spread across the country, and we aim for our teams to gain exposure to a variety of business units to enhance their professional progression — therefore, geographical flexibility is a mandatory requirement. For this position, we will positively consider candidates who have completed university degrees in Business Administration and Management (ADE), Marketing and Market Research, Commerce and Marketing, or an MBA (or equivalent). A good level of English is important, and we will also value any other languages you speak — including sign language. Please let us know, as it will help us deliver outstanding service to our customers. **Apply Today to Join Our Team!** Primark promotes equal opportunities in employment. Internal colleagues must submit their applications by 02/07/2026\. Just like our fashion, our culture adapts to every individual. We strive to create an inclusive workplace where people can be themselves, access opportunities, and thrive together. **REQ ID:** JR\-10458
