Trading Manager

£13 - £15.2 per hourEstimated

At Morrisons, we’re proud to be The Market Street Grocer. We don’t just move boxes; we are food makers and shopkeepers with a rich British heritage. As a Trading Manager, you won’t be stuck behind a desk. You’ll be the commercial driving force right out on the shop floor, ensuring your departments look spectacular and our customers feel right at home.

Reporting into the Store Manager, you’ll take full ownership of trade execution, commercial performance, and stock management across your designated areas. Your main objective is to ensure every aisle is beautifully presented and fully stocked, while coaching your team to deliver the friendly, helpful service that keeps our regulars coming back week after week.

What you'll be doing day-to-day:

  • Leading with Passion: Inspiring, coaching, and developing a team of team leaders and colleagues.
  • Driving Commercial Excellence: Maximising sales through striking visual merchandising, seasonal planning, and peak stock availability.
  • Managing the Numbers: Taking full ownership of sales targets, waste, shrinkage, stock control, and labour budgets.
  • Keeping it Safe: Maintaining strict legal compliance, trading standards, and health & safety.
  • Putting Customers First: Being a visible, welcoming leader to ensure a clean, efficient shopping environment.

About you

You thrive in a fast-paced, high volume retail or commercial environment and understand how to run a profitable operation.

  • Proven Leadership: Experience managing teams and bringing out the best in people.
  • Commercial Mindset: Ability to read trade reports, manage stock rotation, and tightly control waste.
  • Hands-on Attitude: You love the energy of the shop floor and leading by example during busy peaks.
  • Brilliant Communicator: Skilled at building strong relationships with teams, leadership, and customers.

We are an equal opportunities employer and welcome applications from all sections of the community.

We are a team of over 90,000 down-to-earth people. Uniquely, we are the UK's second largest food manufacturer and own our entire supply chain; giving you incredibly diverse career paths and development opportunities.

More Perks:

  • Competitive Salary: Discussed early in the process to match your experience.
  • Colleague Discount: 15% staff discount for you, 10% for a nominated friend/family member.

  • Time Off: 33 days annual leave.

  • Future Growth: Access to our University-accredited Sir Ken Morrison Leadership School programme.
