With over 1,000 stores, offices, and distribution centres, it supports 41,000 jobs and generates €4.7 billion in annual turnover. It is a company built on strong values, deep local roots, and a clear commitment to the communities it serves. In Northern Ireland, Musgrave continues to grow through bold retail innovation. Its 43 company-owned stores generated £150 million in sales last year and are at the heart of the success of the Northern Ireland business. We are seeking a hands-on retail leader to manage this major portfolio and turn strategy into action through clear, practical operational plans. These stores are a hotbed of innovation, where new ideas and brand concepts are developed. They set standards for roll-out across the wider franchise network. This retail operations role requires an inspirational leader who can shape strategy and execute with discipline. You must set high standards, lead by example, and get the best from your teams while staying grounded in daily operations.
