Job Summary: Regional Remerch Team Manager (North)

Lidl GB is seeking a high-performing leader to drive store transformation projects across Northern Great Britain. As a Regional Remerchandising Team Manager, you are the operational pivot point between Head Office concepts and physical store reality. You will lead teams responsible for new openings, refurbishments, and rollouts, ensuring that equipment standards and store layouts are executed flawlessly. This is a fast-paced, senior leadership role that combines technical project oversight with significant people management. If you have a background in shopfitting or large-scale retail coordination and a passion for developing talent, this role offers a substantial salary and the chance to impact one of the UK’s most successful retailers.

Requirements and Skills

Leadership Excellence: Essential experience in coordinating both internal teams and external contractors to deliver complex results.
Industry Background: Previous experience in Shopfitting or Remerchandising is highly preferable.
Operational Agility: The ability to work seamlessly across the business, from C-suite stakeholders at Head Office to frontline teams in individual stores.
Technical Proficiency: IT literate, with a preference for candidates familiar with inventory management systems (e.g., Proshop).
Strategic Coordination: Strong multitasking skills with a proven ability to prioritize workloads and delegate effectively under high pressure.
Mobility: A full UK driving license is mandatory, with a willingness to travel to sites approximately 2–3 days per week.
Base Location: You must be based at one of the following Northern RDCs: Doncaster, Motherwell, Newton Aycliffe, or Runcorn.

Role Overview

You will split your focus between people development and operational execution. You are responsible for mentoring your team and managing the “information flow” between stakeholders to ensure projects stay on schedule. From commissioning shopfitters to monitoring Remerchandising cost accounts, you ensure that every refurbishment or new opening meets Lidl’s exacting standards. You also act as a feedback loop for Head Office, facilitating trials of new store concepts and ensuring that inventory data remains accurate and high-quality.

Key Responsibilities

Team Leadership: Onboard, train, and mentor staff, fostering a collaborative environment where team members can reach their professional goals.
Project Oversight: Lead the planning and execution of new store openings, re-openings, and refurbishments.

Family Support: Enhanced family leave and a robust pension scheme.

Application Tip: The “People + Process” Balance

Peer Note: Lidl is a process-driven business, but this role specifically highlights the management of people who bring concepts to life. In your application, demonstrate how you’ve balanced strict project deadlines with the professional growth of your team. Showing you can “mentor” as well as “manage” will be a key differentiator.
