Even as an area manager, you start at the foundation of the company: the branch. Initially, you will take on the duties of an assistant supermarket manager. In this role, you will do everything possible to learn as much as possible about the store, from operating the cash register to stocking shelves and everything in between. In this first phase, you will learn that so much more happens than just grocery shopping. You ensure that the best daily yield is achieved from the store; important in this is the collaboration with colleagues. After the initial phase as an assistant supermarket manager, we will continually expand your leadership role in the branch up to the level of supermarket manager.

After the induction period in the store, you will be paired with an area manager. You will shadow them and carry out the daily tasks that belong to the position. This includes visiting the various stores, conducting conversations with supermarket managers, personnel matters, analyzing sales results, store layout, inventory management, dealing with customers, and assisting with sales and purchase forecasts.

In the role of area manager, you are ultimately responsible for 4 to 6 branches. You advise and guide the supermarket managers to get the best out of their store and themselves, but never lose sight of the objectives in the process. You also assist with staffing and work together to implement new recruitment campaigns to achieve the best results.

You are the link between management and your branches. You know how to effectively communicate decisions from management to your team.
