Admin Manager Jobs in Midrand

Core is looking for an Admin Manager for its iStore The Glen Pre Owned store in Midrand. This is a permanent, full-time leadership role for someone who can keep the back of a busy retail store running smoothly while leading a team and keeping customers at the centre of everything the store does. If you have spent years leading teams in a fast-moving retail environment and you enjoy improving systems and processes, this opening is worth a close look. Applications close on 29 December 2026.

About the company and the work

iStore is the home of everything Apple and Africa’s largest Apple Premium Reseller. It operates more than 43 physical and online stores across Africa, offering expert advice, Apple Authorised Repairs, and dedicated Business and Education services, along with training and technical support for Apple products. The Glen Pre Owned store is part of that footprint, and the Admin Manager role sits at the heart of its day-to-day operation.

As Admin Manager, you lead teams, give supportive feedback, and make sure that both team members and customers have a valued experience. The role is about the engine room of the store: the back-of-house operations that customers rarely see but always feel when a store runs well. You will work across business functions, keeping standards high and risk low, and you will keep looking for better ways of doing things rather than simply keeping the current routine going.

Role details and duties

• Lead teams and provide supportive feedback so that team members can do their best work.
• Make sure the back-of-house iStore operations run effectively, efficiently and optimally.
• Reduce overall risk to the iStore business by ensuring that iStore policies, processes and standard operating procedures are followed.
• Focus on enhancing operations, reviewing systems and processes on an ongoing basis so they stay the best fit for the business.
• Work across business functions, using matrix management to secure co-operation between teams.
• Drive store targets and results while protecting an excellent customer experience.

The role is based at iStore The Glen Pre Owned in Midrand, and it is a permanent position. The advert states a market-related salary, and it gives the reference number 209953.

Requirements

Only what the source advert states:

• A completed Matric, as the minimum requirement.
• A tertiary qualification would be advantageous.
• Five or more years leading teams in a complex and high-turnover environment.
• Retail operations experience and knowledge.
• Matrix management capability, to ensure co-operation across business functions.
• A proven ability to work in a fast-paced environment, with a desire to learn quickly and to be agile and nimble.
• A proven track record of excellent customer experience.
• A proven track record of driving store targets and results.

The advert states no separate experience level label, so none is shown in the job details above; the five-plus years of team-leadership experience is stated as a requirement instead.

Where to find and apply safely

Apply only through the original Careers24 advert for this vacancy, using the Apply button on this page. That button opens the advert posted by Core, where the full vacancy details and the application form live. Be careful of anyone asking you to pay a fee to apply, or contacting you from an unofficial address about this role: genuine applications go through the original advert only.

Practical tips

• Lead with your team-leadership experience in a high-turnover setting, and give numbers where you can, such as team size or the targets you delivered.
• Show how you have improved a back-of-house process or system, and what changed as a result.
• Mention your retail operations knowledge, especially any experience with stock, administration or store systems.
• Give examples of how you have kept customer experience high while still hitting store targets, since the advert asks for both.
• Note any tertiary qualification, since it is listed as advantageous.
• Apply well before the 29 December 2026 closing date.

How the process works

Applications are made through the original Careers24 advert. The advert notes that if your application is successful, the employer will proceed with background checks, including criminal checks. The advert does not state a shortlisting timeline, so if you have not heard back, it is worth checking the original advert for any updates rather than assuming an outcome.
