We are building a brand that represents the people of the world. It’s what you do that counts, and we are always looking to expand perspectives and voices to shape our future.
We see you, we celebrate you, we want you!
Who we are
You might know us as the inventors of the bath bomb, but there’s more to this great-smelling, partly employee-owned, family-run company than pioneering cosmetics. We believe our business should put more back into the world than it takes and demonstrate that capitalism can be a force for good. We put our people first and fight cruel practices like animal testing, promote regeneration, and show that it is what’s inside that counts - whether that’s an ingredient in a product, or the minerals in a smartphone.
The role
As a Store Manager, your main focus will be assisting in delivering exceptional customer service and creating memorable experiences. You will work collaboratively with the Trainee Manager to cultivate a team that shares a passion for making every customer interaction a delightful experience. Contributing to a positive environment where each visit goes beyond a transaction is key.
Your role also involves building connections within the local community, with other businesses, and charity organisations. Your commitment to outstanding customer service will contribute to the overall growth of the business, and we are here to support you in achieving this goal.
You assess progress towards objectives and help shape the team structure for optimal performance. Recruitment and upskilling of team members will be part of your responsibility, aligning roles and staff to meet the store's needs.
Our business is driven by people, and we encourage you to enjoy your work, embrace challenges, and see your role as a starting point for building a career. Our flexible, supportive, and authentic working culture values your creative spirit. We welcome your efforts to push boundaries, explore new approaches, and continually enhance the customer experience, offering our full support along the way.
What will you be responsible for as a Store Manager?
- Lead and inspire your team to deliver exceptional customer experiences, fostering a welcoming and vibrant shop floor.
- Drive sales growth by analysing key business metrics, setting targets, and maximising sales through events, parties, and outreach initiatives.
- Ensure the shop is well-stocked, visually appealing, and product displays are adjusted to reflect current sales trends and seasonal changes.
- Manage the shop’s financials, controlling staffing, operational costs, and stock levels to maintain a healthy retail margin.
- Recruit, train, and develop a diverse and talented team, ensuring they are well-prepared to meet sales and service goals.
- Foster a positive work environment through effective communication, regular team check-ins, and promoting work-life balance.
- Plan and implement in-store and external events, collaborating with the PR team to enhance the shop's visibility and attract new customers.
- Ensure the shop operates within established Lush guidelines, creating internal processes where necessary to suit your shop's unique needs.
- Promote safety and well-being within the team, ensuring a secure work environment and access to support resources.
- Monitor sales trends and local customer needs, adjusting opening hours and staffing levels to maximise trading opportunities

About Lush
Since establishing in 1995 in Poole, Dorset, Lush has been driven by innovation and its ethics.
Creators of pioneering beauty products such as the fizzing bath bomb, shower jellies and solid shampoo bars, we place emphasis on fresh ingredients like organic fruits and vegetables, fight against animal testing and combat over-packaging by developing products that can be sold ‘naked’ to the customer without any packaging.
We currently operate in 52 countries with 928 global shops. Through our separate business divisions we invent, manufacture and sell our handmade products direct to our customers through our own shops and online. The fact that we make all our products by hand is something we are really rather proud of!
- Lush is 10% Employee Owned since 2017 and our people are the heart and soul of our business.
