Job description
If you're a passionate leader who thrives on developing people, delivering exceptional customer experiences and driving business performance, we'd love to hear from you.
At GAIL's, our Bakery Managers don't just manage bakeries; they run them.
You'll have full ownership of your bakery's people, product, customer experience, standards and commercial performance, creating a place where teams thrive, customers return and communities connect. Every day in a GAIL's bakery is different.
One moment you'll be coaching a team through a busy morning rush, the next you'll be talking customers through the story behind our products, supporting the launch of a new seasonal range, or celebrating a team member's progression into their next role. It's fast-paced, hands-on and deeply rewarding, with great food, great people and real community at its heart.
- Owning the overall performance of your bakery across people, product, customer experience, place and profit
- Building, developing and inspiring a high-performing team
- Creating an inclusive culture where people feel valued, supported and accountable
- Recruiting and developing future leaders through coaching, training and succession planning
- Driving sales growth, profitability and operational excellence
- Championing exceptional standards across food, coffee and customer service
