Job Summary: Regional Remerch Team Manager (South West)

Lidl GB is looking for a high-impact leader to spearhead store transformation projects across the South West. As a Regional Remerchandising Team Manager, you are the bridge between corporate concept and physical reality. You will oversee the teams responsible for new store openings, refurbishments, and the rollout of new equipment standards. This is a fast-paced, hands-on leadership role that requires a unique blend of “people power” and technical project oversight. If you have a background in shopfitting, retail operations, or large-scale team coordination, this role offers a significant salary and a platform to drive change in one of the UK’s fastest-growing supermarkets.

Requirements and Skills

Leadership: Essential experience in coordinating both internal staff and external contractors (e.g., shopfitters) to deliver high-quality results.
Industry Experience: A background in Shopfitting or Remerchandising is highly preferable.
Operational Agility: The ability to move between high-level project planning and “on-the-ground” problem-solving.
Technical Savvy: IT literate; familiarity with inventory management systems (like Proshop) is a major advantage.
Decision Making: Calm under pressure with a proven ability to prioritize and delegate in a target-driven environment.
Logistics: A full UK driving license is mandatory, as the role requires travel to sites approximately 2–3 days per week.
Base Location: You will be based at one of the following Regional Distribution Centres (RDCs): Avonmouth, Bridgend, Exeter, Southampton, or Wednesbury.

Role Overview

Your mission is to ensure that every Lidl store in your region reflects the latest brand concepts while remaining operationally efficient. You will split your time between mentoring your team and managing the logistics of complex refurbishments. You are responsible for the “flow of information” between Head Office, Regional Distribution Centres, and individual store managers. From commissioning shopfitters to monitoring Remerchandising cost accounts (KPIs), you ensure that every project is delivered safely, on time, and within budget.

Key Responsibilities

People Development: Lead, onboard, and mentor a regional team, fostering a culture of professional growth and collaboration.
Project Oversight: Manage the end-to-end coordination of store refurbishments, re-openings, and new launches.
Stakeholder Management: Coordinate between the Remerchandising team, RDC Equipment teams, and external shopfitting partners.
Inventory & Systems: Oversee equipment ordering and maintain high data quality on internal inventory systems.
Strategy Implementation: Execute the National Facilities Management (FM) strategy, including trial support and feedback for Head Office.
Compliance: Ensure all site activity adheres to legal, internal, and Health & Safety regulations.
KPI Monitoring: Take ownership of cost accounts, project timelines, and inventory accuracy.

Salary and Market-Leading Benefits

Salary: £66,000 – £94,000 per annum (depending on experience).
Annual Leave: 35 days holiday (pro rata).
Discount: 10% in-store discount to help with your own “Lidl shop.”
Family Support: Enhanced family leave policies.
Wellness: A comprehensive pension scheme and perks designed for work-life balance.
Growth: Ongoing training with a clear path to further leadership positions.

Application Tip: The “Operational Bridge”

Peer Note: Lidl is famous for its efficiency. In your application, focus on how you have previously managed “handover” processes. Show that you understand how to transition a store from a construction site (shopfitting) back to a high-functioning retail environment without disrupting the customer experience.
