About the role

We're looking for a commercially minded leader to join EE as a Regional Commercial Leader, helping drive performance, capability and consistency across a portfolio of retail stores. This is a highly visible role that sits between Regional Leadership and Store Leadership. You'll work closely with Store Managers and senior stakeholders to identify opportunities, improve performance and help deliver exceptional customer experiences across the region.

 

Rather than managing a large direct team, you'll influence, coach and support leaders to achieve stronger commercial outcomes. You'll use insight, data and your own experience to spot opportunities, challenge thinking and help stores perform at their best. If you enjoy developing others, improving performance and making a tangible impact across multiple locations, this is an exciting opportunity to shape the success of an entire region.

 

This isn't a traditional Area Manager role. Success comes from influencing, coaching and developing others rather than relying on direct authority. It's a fantastic opportunity for someone who enjoys improving performance through people, shaping regional strategy and building the capability that drives long-term success.

What you'll be doing

• Partnering with Store Leaders to drive commercial performance across the region.
• Using sales and operational data to identify opportunities, risks and performance trends.
• Coaching and developing leaders to improve capability, confidence and results.
• Supporting stores to deliver outstanding customer experiences and high-quality customer conversations.
• Driving the successful implementation of new products, propositions, campaigns and strategic initiatives.
• Sharing best practice across the region and helping create consistently high-performing teams.
• Challenging constructively and influencing decision-making to improve business outcomes.
• Supporting a culture of ethical, compliant and customer-focused selling.
• Spending regular time in stores, observing performance and providing real-time coaching and support.

Essential Skills

• Experience leading performance across multiple retail locations, regions or business units.
• Experience within telecoms, connectivity, or consumer electronics or a similar multi-site customer-facing environment.
• Proven experience improving sales, customer or operational performance through coaching and influence.
• Analytical capability and confidence working with performance data and KPIs.
• Ability to operate effectively in a fast-paced, target-driven environment.
• Full UK driving licence and willingness to travel extensively across the region.

Desirable Skills

• Previous experience as an Area Manager, Regional Manager, Cluster Manager, Retail Performance Manager or similar.
• Experience coaching and developing Store Managers or senior retail leaders.
• Experience leading change and embedding new ways of working.
• Knowledge of commercial compliance, regulated sales environments or customer outcome frameworks.
• Experience supporting business transformation, capability programmes or large-scale operational change.

At EE, we’re harnessing the power of technology to bring people together and make life better.

You’ll use your energy and ambition from similar roles where you’ve thrived, met goals, achieved targets, influenced others, or provided great service and you’ll already have the transferrable skills to shine here. You’ll take responsibility for delivering results and collaborate with your team to share ideas and celebrate success. We’ll give you all the training, tools, and support you need to build your confidence and achieve your targets. 

We understand that life doesn’t always follow a set schedule, so we help our people work flexibly – for example, allowing you to plan your own breaks or bank time off to make sure you don’t miss the moments that matter most. 

We have a singular culture that unites all our people: we are customer-first challengers, who are committed, clear and connected. Bring your energy, curiosity, and ambition – and we’ll match it with opportunity. Join us at EE and turn your potential into performance.
