Assistant Store Manager

Are you a true beauty and wellbeing enthusiast? Great at coaching people? Ready for a role that mixes shop floor work and team coaching? You might be exactly who we're looking for.

Share your talents

Lead in your Store Manager's absence – take full responsibility for daily operations, team decisions, and coaching Sales Advisors.

Partner with your Store Manager – work together on rota planning, sales strategies, and plans to make colleagues and customers even happier.

Be the product expert – handle complex customer questions, demonstrate products like a pro, and embody our signature Feel Good Experience.

Own the operations side – take care of rota management, inventory, cash handling, and all essential back-office work that keeps the store running smoothly.

Develop your team and make targets fun – you're great at coaching, know exactly what to say to help people grow, and you turn sales into a game everyone wants to play.

Be a brand ambassador – you look polished and professional, and you pay attention to every detail that matters for a luxury boutique.

Bring all of you

Similar level of experience in retail or customer service.

Can't imagine being behind a desk all day. You get a genuine kick out of retail - the rush, the variety, the puzzle-solving.

Are results driven, always looking for your next win and you naturally turn conversations into purchases.

Have strong people skills and easily adapt to different personalities - you know how to inspire your team, collaborate with your Store Manager, and connect with customers (whether they're chatty or more reserved).

You’re available to work during opening hours, which include evenings and weekends.

Benefits of working at Rituals

Our famous, monthly Kick-Off (we ALL look forward to) where we check out new products, have workshops, evaluate numbers and make plans for the month ahead. Trust us, you'll love it.

Potential monthly bonus of 12% on top of your gross salary, when shop targets are met (applies to contracts of 16+ hours).

Employee discounts, goodie bags, various wellbeing perks, and access to special events like our Rituals Live Event and the Global Rituals Brand Show.

All the growth opportunities. Think leadership programmes, our learning platform (called The Book of Rituals) and coaching on the job.

    Forget the standard interview; we’d rather let you experience the role. That’s why you’ll be invited to a so-called ‘Discovery’. During this Discovery, you’ll explore the store, meet the team, and show how you interact in real situations.
