Assistant Manager

City is a New Zealand design company that creates purposeful, original and beautiful furniture and homeware for every room in the home. Our homes tell our stories, and through creating objects of lasting affection, we aim to inspire our customers to tell theirs.

As our Assistant Manager, you’ll work closely with the Sales Manager to inspire a close-knit team who’ve bonded over a shared love of beautiful textiles and furniture. You’ll bring great energy to the floor, using your enthusiasm and people-first leadership style to keep the team motivated and thriving. With a strong sales mindset, you’ll help drive results, smash targets, and lead the team to deliver on KPIs; all while creating an exceptional customer experience.

You’ll play an important role in keeping the store running smoothly, using your attention to detail and organised approach to manage stock levels and reporting to a high standard. From keeping everything on track to ensuring accurate reporting and best-practice stock management, you’ll help make sure the store runs like a dream behind the scenes.

You’ll bring at least 12 months’ experience in a sales environment (or a relevant qualification), ideally with high-end products; interiors and furniture experience is a big plus. You’ve got a proven track record of hitting sales targets and genuinely believe that personalised, thoughtful customer service should be delivered every single time. You’ll also be comfortable using Microsoft Office and retail systems to keep things running smoothly.
