Position Overview

Kynd Supermart Limited is introducing a new dedicated Liquor Manager position as part of its business expansion and operational restructuring to improve departmental efficiency, compliance management, and sales performance within the liquor division.

Due to increasing customer demand, growth in product range, and the need for enhanced regulatory compliance under the Sale and Supply of Alcohol Act, the business has determined that the liquor department now requires a standalone managerial role..
