Role overview:
Senior Manager Stores GTM
London
Currys London Campus at Waterloo
Permanent
Full Time
Grade 5
At Currys we’re united by one passion: to help everyone enjoy amazing technology. As the UK’s best-known retailer of tech, we’re proud of the service our customers receive – and it’s all down to our team of 25,000 caring and committed colleagues. Working as one team, we learn and grow together, celebrating the big and small moments that make every day amazing.
You'll sit within the Stores GTM function, reporting to the Head of Stores GTM. We own the complete commercial picture for our categories — from how products are presented and activated to how colleagues sell them. We're a close-knit team that moves fast, thinks commercially and takes real pride in making our categories brilliant in store. You'll lead a small team of two direct reports — a Stores GTM Manager and an SES Performance Manager — making sure marketing, selling and supplier programmes work as one. You'll represent the category in trading reviews and commercial planning sessions, bringing the store perspective into the room. Working with supplier and brand partners, you'll build relationships that grow retail media income and create genuine value for customers.
Role overview:
As part of this role, you’ll be responsible for:
• Owning how the category shows up in stores — spending regular time on the shop floor to see execution first hand and make sure the category is presented and activated consistently across the estate.
• Delivering a joined-up trade plan that aligns seasonality, key trading moments and in-store execution into one clear, integrated category brief.
• Leading range change as a core commercial driver — making sure changes land right first time, are clearly communicated to store teams and maximise sales, market share and colleague confidence.
• Owning the end-to-end commercial performance of the category, tracking sales, margin, promo effectiveness and availability and acting on gaps at pace.
• Building colleague knowledge and expertise within the category, making sure store teams can sell with confidence and deliver better outcomes for customers.
• Building and manage senior commercial relationships with key supplier and brand partners, growing retail media and SES income.
• Maintaining a complete view of category performance — bringing together marketing, selling and SES data — and communicate the story clearly to the Head of Stores GTM.
You will need:
• Experience in commercial or category management, with a strong understanding of trading, margin and in-store execution.
• A track record of working closely with store teams in a multi-site retail environment, with regular field presence.
• A talent for holding the complete commercial picture — trading, marketing, selling and supplier relationships — and driving performance across all of them at once.
• Confidence leading and developing a small team, coaching direct reports through performance gaps and keeping everyone focused on the right outcomes.
• Strong commercial and trading experience, including category performance management, margin drivers and trading reviews.
• Deep understanding of how in-store marketing drives footfall, dwell and conversion in a physical retail environment.
• Experience managing supplier and brand partner relationships with real commercial rigour and professional consistency.
• Sharp data literacy that reads integrated category performance and turns it into clear, fast action.
• A visible, store-facing style — comfortable spending time on the shop floor and grounding commercial decisions in what you actually see.
