At Asda, we want you to find your everything. As our Foodhall Manager, you’ll take full ownership of the store’s Ambient and Fresh food operations—two of the most critical and high-impact areas of the business. From dry groceries and household essentials to fresh produce, chilled, and bakery, you’ll ensure every aisle is full, fresh, and ready for customers. You’ll lead and inspire a team of department managers and colleagues to deliver exceptional standards, availability, and service. You’ll also use data and insight to drive performance, manage stock and waste, and ensure full compliance with food safety and operational policies. This is a fast-paced, hands-on leadership role where your ability to balance commercial thinking with people leadership will be key to success. What makes a brilliant Foodhall Manager: • Customer-obsessed: You understand what great looks like in food retail and deliver it consistently across all departments. • Operationally strong: You’re confident managing large-scale food operations, from stock control and waste reduction to compliance and safety. • Commercially focused: You use data and insight to drive sales, improve margins, and respond to customer trends. • Inspiring leader: You lead by example, coach your team, and create a culture of high performance and accountability. • Detail-oriented: You maintain high standards of presentation, hygiene, and legal compliance. • Adaptable: You thrive in a dynamic environment and can manage seasonal peaks, promotions, and change with confidence. What you’ll bring: • Proven experience managing large food operations in a retail environment. • Strong knowledge of both ambient and fresh food categories. • A track record of leading teams to deliver commercial and customer outcomes. • Confidence in managing compliance, food safety, and operational standards. • Flexibility to work a range of shifts, including early mornings, evenings, and weekends.
