Permanent Assistant Manager

Are you ready to lead, inspire, and deliver outstanding results?

At WED2B, one of the world’s fastest-growing bridal retailers, we’re looking for a driven and dynamic Assistant Manager to join our Cardiff team. This is a unique opportunity to showcase your leadership skills, develop a high-performing team, and make a real impact in a supportive, global network.

About the Role

As an Assistant Manager at WED2B, you will be a pivotal force behind the success of your store. We’re looking for someone who isn’t just passionate about customer service but has the strategic leadership skills to motivate a team, drive sales, and deliver exceptional results.

You’ll lead from the front — setting the standard for excellence on the shop floor, supporting and developing your team members, and ensuring operational excellence across all areas of the business.

You’ll be responsible for:

  • Inspiring, coaching, and developing your team to achieve and exceed sales targets

  • Maintaining operational standards and ensuring a seamless, exceptional customer experience

  • Managing performance through effective communication, regular feedback, and hands-on leadership

  • Problem-solving in a fast-paced environment, ensuring quick resolutions to customer and operational issues

  • Proactively identifying opportunities for improvement to enhance team effectiveness and store performance

About You

  • You have strong leadership experience, ideally within a luxury retail setting

  • You are target-driven and passionate about achieving commercial success through teamwork

  • You thrive under pressure and bring a calm, organised approach to problem-solving and decision-making

  • You naturally build trust with your team and create a positive, high-energy work environment

  • You are adaptable, self-motivated, and always seeking ways to grow both personally and professionally

  • Experience in bridal or formalwear retail is a plus, but a passion for creating magical customer experiences is essential

About Us

WED2B’s unique “no appointment needed” model has positioned us as a leader in the bridal industry, with 59 stores across the UK and Europe. Our success is built on the talent and ambition of our teams, supported by industry-leading training and a culture of excellence. Through structured training, ongoing development, and our buddy system, you will always have the tools — and support — you need to succeed.

Benefits

  • Competitive salary and uncapped commission scheme

  • Comprehensive, hands-on management training programme

  • Generous staff discount

  • Holiday buying scheme

  • Enhanced maternity and paternity benefits

  • Access to an online benefits platform

  • Clear pathways for career progression and leadership development

Are you ready to take the next step in your career and lead a team to success?

At WED2B, we know when we find "the one" — just like our brides do. If you’re passionate about leadership, excellence, and helping others shine, you might just be the one we’re looking for.

We are committed to creating a diverse, inclusive, and supportive workplace for everyone.
