Fresh Food Manager

At Morrisons, we're proud to be The Market Street Grocer. We don't just move boxes; we are food makers and shopkeepers. As a Fresh Food Manager, you won't be stuck behind a desk. You'll be the driving force behind our fresh departments, orchestrating stunning product displays, managing short-life stock, and ensuring our customers experience a vibrant, bustling place to shop.

• Leading with Passion: Inspiring, coaching, and developing a team of team leaders and fresh department colleagues.
• Driving Fresh Excellence: Maximising sales through striking visual merchandising, seasonal trade planning, and peak stock availability.
• Managing the Numbers: Taking full ownership of fresh sales targets, tight food waste management, shrinkage, and labour budgets.
• Keeping it Safe: Upholding highest-degree food safety, temperature control, legal compliance, and trading standards.
• Putting Customers First: Being a visible leader on the floor, ensuring an authentic, passionate "shopkeeper" environment.
