Pepkor Lifestyle is looking for an entrepreneurial Branch Manager in Gauteng, with applications closing on 3 November 2026. This is a store-leadership role for someone ready to take full ownership of a retail store, running it like their own business, from daily sales and profitability to customer service and visual merchandising.
About the company and the work
Pepkor Lifestyle gives value-conscious mass-market customers the opportunity and means to create a comfortable lifestyle, with brands providing quality, value-for-money furniture, appliances and household goods. The Branch Manager is the person accountable for the store’s total operational performance, leading the team on the floor and making sure every part of the operation, from the shop floor to the back office, works together.
Role details and duties
The role covers five areas. Store performance: execute daily sales strategies, monitor budgets, manage store expenses, and analyse local sales trends to meet or exceed profitability goals. Floor leadership and execution: implement visual merchandising planograms effectively, manage promotional campaigns, and run daily floor operations. Team empowerment: recruit, develop and retain top store talent, hold regular one-on-one performance reviews, and track team development. Risk and administration control: carry out vital in-store administration, including cash-ups and stock counts, and actively manage stock losses. Customer service champion: resolve customer issues on the floor immediately, and review customer feedback and reports daily. Some of the advert’s detail lines were cut off in the page view, so the duties above are summarised generally, and applicants should confirm the full wording in the original advert.
Requirements
The requirements listed are a Matric certificate, and 3 to 6 years of retail experience. The advert also looks for strong capabilities in deciding and initiating action, leading and supervising, and planning and organising, plus Google Suite proficiency, operational stock management, and a solid understanding of retail and consumer behaviour. Only what the source states is listed here, and the final part of the competencies and skills lines was cut off in the page view, so please confirm the full wording in the original advert.
Where to find and apply safely
This vacancy is advertised on Careers24 by Pepkor Lifestyle, and the Apply button on this page takes you directly to the original advert. Apply only through that original listing, and be wary of anyone asking you to pay a fee to secure a job, as legitimate employers do not charge jobseekers for applications.
Practical tips
Show your Matric certificate and your 3 to 6 years of retail experience clearly on your CV, and give examples of leading a team, growing sales, controlling stock losses and resolving customer problems on the floor. Mention your experience with cash-ups, stock counts and merchandising plans.
