Team Manager - Food Halls

We’re currently looking for full time Team Managers to join our welcoming and close-knit team within Harrods’ vibrant and bustling Food Halls.

Team Managers are instrumental in supporting the Department Managers in delivering operational excellence, food safety compliance, and the delivery of financial KPIs whilst creating a world-class customer experience. Team Managers inspire their teams to exceptional results by building relationships, fostering collaboration and ensuring a people-first approach in everything they do.

About the Role

As a frontline leader in the Food Halls, our Team Managers embody a “relationship-first” approach, acting as a natural collaborator who connects with colleagues, customers, and stakeholders alike. With a strong presence on the floor, our Team Managers inspire and engage their teams to deliver outstanding customer experiences while driving the commercial performance of your department. By balancing people-focused leadership with a keen commercial mindset, they play a pivotal role in shaping the success of the Food Halls and ensuring it remains a world-class destination for our customers.

Team Managers are responsible for setting clear goals, coaching their team, and nurturing talent to create a high-performing, motivated department. By being a visible presence on the floor, our Team Managers drive service standards, enhance sales performance, and embed a culture of continuous feedback and development. Whether it’s developing talent, ensuring compliance, or delivering premium customer service, Team Managers set the standard for excellence while contributing to the success of both their department and the wider Food Halls.

About You

You’re a confident and experienced operational leader who thrives in a fast-paced, dynamic food retail environment. With a background in supermarkets or busy food retail, you’re a relationship-led manager who likes being on the floor with your colleagues, helping your team to be their best. You’re proactive, organised, and comfortable taking ownership of a large space (in the absence of your Department Manager), overseeing team members, concessions, and seasonal campaigns whilst maintaining high standards and compliance.

You will also be:

• Adept at building relationships, whether with your immediate team, colleagues across the Food Halls, or stakeholders (i.e. buyers and merchandisers).
• An inspired, empowered leader able to engage and motivate your team, as well as being capable of truly inspiring and managing the performance of your team.
• Resilient – actively seeking constructive feedback from your Department Manager and stakeholders to drive continuous improvement.
• Self-aware and comfortable operating in ambiguity, whilst setting an example for the right ways of working from the get go.
• Appreciative of and adhering to operational and safety standards.
• Driving Food Halls’ revenue, as well as bringing the Harrods story, experience, values, and magic to customers.
