Job Description

Locations: Newtownards (home store) & Belfast Forestside
Salary: Competitive salary + bonus
Hours: 40 hours per week
Our Vodafone Partner stores are independent franchises that provide you with the opportunity to develop and contribute to a growing local business.
At Vodafone UK Retail, it’s our job to help customers get the most out of their tech – tech that’s evolving every day. Be at the forefront of one of Britain’s best‑loved brands and feel unlimited, just like our services and benefits.
Please note if your application is successful your personal details and application will be shared with our Franchise Partner.

What will you be doing?
This is a Deputy Manager position, sitting between an Assistant Manager and a Store Manager, created to support the continued growth of the franchise.
Your home store will be Newtownards, however you’ll also be required to support and cover other stores within the franchise, including Belfast Forestside, as needed. This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced retail leader looking to take the next step towards Store Management.
When a customer enters your store, they’ll get that Vodafone feeling – a sense that they’re welcomed, valued, and supported by a friendly expert who can guide them through our products and services.
Working closely with the Store Manager, you’ll help lead and support established teams, acting as a key point of leadership across the franchise when required. You’ll use your strong coaching skills to develop people, drive performance, and deliver outstanding customer experiences.
With a proven sales background and experience meeting and exceeding KPIs, you’ll take a numbers‑focused and commercial approach, driving results through your people while maintaining a holistic view of the business.

Who are we looking for?
You’ll bring strong operational experience, energy, and engagement to your teams and customers. Confident stepping into responsibility across multiple sites, you’ll be adaptable, resilient, and comfortable supporting different stores as business needs change.
While the role can be demanding, for the right person this is a fantastic opportunity to build leadership experience and progress within one of the UK’s most valuable brands.

What’s in it for you?
You’ll receive a competitive salary (depending on experience) along with a bonus opportunity. You’ll be part of a fun, diverse, and driven team who love what they do and will inspire you to be your very best — while gaining exposure across multiple stores within the franchise to support your career progression.
