Job Description

Are you a proven Retail Leader ready to take the next step in your career?

We're looking for an exceptional Retail Manager with a strong commercial background and a

people-first leadership style

to become a

33% Retail Partner

at one of the region's top-performing Specsavers stores.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

Hamilton Specsavers is a large, high-footfall store with outstanding operating profits and a well-established, high-performing team. You'll be joining a new partnership structure alongside a 33% Optometry Partner, with the opportunity to shape the future of a thriving business.



This is a rare chance to move from operational leadership into business ownership. Ideal for someone from a large, fast-paced retail environment who's ready to apply their strategic, commercial, and people leadership skills in a new way.

No Optical Experience? No Problem.

This opportunity is

not exclusive to those from the optical industry.

If you're a high-performing Retail Manager from a large-scale retail business, this could be your chance to realise your potential as a business owner, with the full backing of a trusted brand.

Support to Succeed

Specsavers' dedicated Partnership Team will support you every step of the way, from exploring finance options to helping you transition into ownership. You'll also benefit from a wide range of commercial support functions, including marketing, HR, finance, and operations, giving you the tools and confidence to thrive.

What You'll Bring

We're looking for someone who:

Has a

track record of leading large teams

in fast-paced retail environments. Is

commercially astute,

with a deep understanding of driving performance, profitability, and customer experience. Is confident in

leading change,

identifying growth opportunities, and inspiring teams to deliver results. Has a strong people-orientation, with the ability to engage, motivate and develop teams.
Wants to own and grow a successful business, not just manage one.

Ready to Take the Leap?

If you're a dynamic retail leader ready to transition into business ownership, we'd love to hear from you.
