The role

Because you make the difference

At Primark, we like to do things our way, and that is how we continue to grow and open new stores all over the world. We offer our customers trendy fashion at affordable prices, and we do it with passion, proximity, and commitment. If you identify with these principles, join Primark as an Assistant Manager.

Because you have the talent to lead teams and maximize results, this is your opportunity to make a real impact as an Assistant Manager.

Because you are important

People are at the center of everything we do, so it is essential that we provide you with the right environment so that you can give your best. Therefore, we offer you a series of benefits that put you first:

  • Professional development opportunities at national and international levels in a company in continuous expansion.
  • Our schedules are 5 days per week with continuous shifts.
  • Continuous training in various areas.
  • Possibility of supporting new openings in different locations. 
  • Employee discount to purchase products from our fabulous collections.

What will your responsibilities be?

As Assistant Manager, you will work side by side with the Store Manager to lead the team and ensure an exceptional shopping experience in the store. You will be responsible for driving sales and optimizing commercial performance through strategic planning and impeccable execution in all areas.

You will ensure that stock is always available and well-managed to meet customer needs, also supervising the visual presentation of products to create an attractive environment. Additionally, you will collaborate on task and schedule planning so that people are always in the right place at the right time. In the absence of the Store Manager, you will assume their role, effectively leading the daily operations of the store.

Regarding the team, you will be an example to follow. You will train, motivate, and develop Primark colleagues so they reach their full potential, fostering a culture of learning, recognition, and continuous improvement. You will also ensure compliance with policies and procedures, looking after safety and promoting ethical and sustainable values within the Primark Cares strategic framework.

How would we like you to be?

We want someone with strong leadership skills and experience in team management, especially in dynamic and high-volume operational environments. We look for people who know how to inspire, motivate, and develop talent, fostering a culture of commitment and high performance.

Your commercial vision will be fundamental, as will the ability to analyze data, identify opportunities, and make strategic decisions to exceed sales objectives. It is important that you have excellent organizational and planning skills, being able to manage complex situations effectively and with a decisive and resilient attitude.

We also value the ability to communicate clearly and inspiritingly, building positive relationships with the team and ensuring a constant flow of information. Previous experience in a similar position will be fundamental.

Being a company in full expansion, our needs are distributed throughout the country and we want our teams to experience a variety of business units with the aim of enhancing their professional progression; therefore, geographic availability will be an indispensable requirement.

For this position, we will positively value if you have completed your university studies in Business Administration, Marketing and Market Research, Trade and Marketing, MBA (or similar).

Having a good level of English will be important, and we will also value other languages you know, including sign language. Do not forget to inform us, as this will help offer great service.
