They combine premium beauty and wellness, trusted healthcare, market-leading pharmacy services and beautiful, innovative retail experiences, all under one roof.

As Store Manager, you’ll lead at scale in a fast-moving environment where expectations are high, opportunities are huge and no two days are ever the same. This is a role for exceptional leaders who thrive on pace, complexity and visibility — and who know how to inspire large, diverse teams to deliver brilliance every day.

• Coach your team, develop future leaders and create a culture where everyone can thrive
• Be bold, try new things and use customer insight, commercial data and market trends to shape strategy and looks for ways to improve every day

What you’ll need to have

• A genuine interest in pharmacy with a willingness to learn, even without prior experience
• A calm, flexible approach with the confidence to make decisions and adapt at pace
