Lead from the front at King Living Hemel Hempstead — and build the kind of retail career worth having.

The King Difference

Are you ready to stop waiting for your moment — and start owning it?

These are genuine management opportunities at King Living's Hemel Hempstead Outlet — and they come with a dimension that sets them apart from a standard showroom role. Outlet leadership here means more than managing a sales floor. You will be responsible for the movement, presentation and commercial performance of stock in a fast-paced outlet environment — coordinating incoming and outgoing inventory, ensuring the floor is always shoppable, and driving the kind of customer experience that turns a visit into a purchase.

Whether you are stepping into a Showroom Manager role or growing into your first leadership position as an Assistant Showroom Manager, you will be trusted with the floor, backed by a passionate team, and held to a standard that makes this brand worth working for.

If you are a retail leader who thrives on pace, loves exceptional design, and brings both commercial instinct and operational discipline — Hemel Hempstead is where that opportunity lives.

What You Will Own

Sales Performance & Customer Experience
Inspire your team to perform at their best — delivering warm, consultative experiences that build lasting relationships and turn genuine interest into confident purchasing decisions.

Stock Movement & Outlet Operations
Coordinate the movement, staging and presentation of outlet stock — managing incoming deliveries, floor rotations and outgoing inventory with accuracy and efficiency to keep the showroom commercially optimised at all times.

Team Leadership & Development
You set the tone. Through daily briefings, hands-on coaching and genuine investment in your team's growth, you will build a culture where people are motivated, knowledgeable and proud of where they work.

Brand & Showroom Standards
Keep the outlet running seamlessly — maintaining operational standards and ensuring every corner of the showroom reflects the design leadership and quality King Living is known for, even in a fast-moving outlet environment.

Who You Are

You will likely come from a premium retail, furniture, interiors or lifestyle brand background — ideally with experience in an outlet, clearance or operationally active retail environment where stock management is as important as selling. What matters most is your commercial instinct, your operational discipline, and the standards you hold yourself and your team to.

You are a retail leader who takes pride in your team, your showroom and your results — and you are ready for an environment that matches your ambition.
