Welcome to FreshChoice

At FreshChoice our aim is to provide our locals quick and friendly service with a range that has everything customers want and is just what they need.

Because our owners live locally we think we’ve got a pretty good idea about what people in our communities need in a supermarket. As a result, we have a wide range of everyday essentials, and those little treats that make life that wee bit more enjoyable.

The Opportunity

We are searching for a strategic and commercially-minded Business Partner to drive the growth and success of our FreshChoice franchise supermarket stores. This is a pivotal role that requires a deep understanding of retail operations, financial performance, and expert relationship management.

You will serve as a trusted advisor to Franchise Owners, leveraging data-driven insights to maximize store profitability, boost operational efficiency, and ensure rigorous adherence to established brand standards across your entire portfolio.

Reporting to the Retail Operations Manager, you will possess a proven background in multi-site management, finance, or retail consulting. We are looking for a highly collaborative and results-driven individual with a passion for delivering strong outcomes through expert guidance and partnership.

What you’ll do | Hei mahi
  • Analyze store-specific financial data (P&L, sales, margins, expenses) to identify trends, opportunities, and risks.
  • Develop and co-implement strategies with Franchise Owners to improve profitability, control costs, and drive revenue growth.
  • Conduct regular store visits and performance reviews to ensure compliance with operational best practices, supply chain efficiency, inventory management, and labor scheduling.
  • Advise on systems and process improvements to boost efficiency and customer satisfaction.
  • Build strong, collaborative relationships based on mutual respect and a shared commitment to success.
  • Provide expert, data-backed recommendations and facilitate the resolution of complex business challenges.
  • Ensure all franchise locations adhere rigorously to established brand standards, merchandising guidelines, regulatory requirements, and company policies.
  • Facilitate the successful rollout and implementation of new company initiatives and promotions.
  • Leverage internal reporting tools and market data to provide actionable, data-driven insights.
  • Present performance reports and strategic recommendations clearly and persuasively to stakeholders and Franchise Owners.
What you will bring | Hei koha
  • Proven experience in a commercial, financial, or management role within the retail or similar multi-site environment, preferably food retail/supermarkets.
  • Demonstrated expertise in reading, interpreting, and influencing P&L statements and key retail financial metrics.
  • Exceptional relationship management and communication skills, with the ability to influence and advise independent business owners.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities, capable of translating complex data into clear, executable strategies.
