• Experience supporting or contributing to rosters, labour planning, or store performance - we’ll help you grow your capability in these areas.
• A passion for delivering great customer experiences - we’ll teach you the optical retail side.
• An interest in developing skills in decision-making, coaching, and team culture - we support your growth.
• No optical experience required - some of our best store leaders joined from outside the industry.
