They are responsible for overseeing all activities within the store, which could involve staff recruitment and training, inventory management, merchandising, financial management, and dealing with customer issues or complaints. As the store representative, a Store Manager is often the point of contact for the business, ensuring that the store is operating effectively and efficiently while meeting its sales targets and objectives. They also provide leadership and direction to the staff, fostering a positive and productive work environment.

They also need to have good analytical and decision-making skills to ensure the financial success of the store. While there are no specific certifications required for the role, a degree in business management or a related field, or a certification in retail management could be beneficial. Experience in retail and management is generally more important than formal education in this role.
