We’re looking for a committed and enthusiastic Supervisor to join our retail family at Brisbane Airport in a Full-Time capacity. If you love connecting with people, creating memorable customer experiences, and inspiring others – this is your moment.

Flexible on roster schedule for the right candidate.

What You’ll Do:

• Lead and coordinate daily shifts, ensuring smooth operations across the retail, café, grab-and-go and bar areas
• Support, coach and mentor team members, fostering  a positive, energetic and supportive team culture, leading by example and getting involved wherever needed
  
  
• Be the first point of contact for operational issues, customer enquiries and team support during your shift
  
  
• Deliver exceptional customer service, ensuring every traveller enjoys a welcoming, efficient and engaging experience
  
  
• Maintain high standards of store presentation, visual merchandising, product availability and food and beverage quality
  
  
• Support sales performance by encouraging product knowledge, suggestive selling and a strong customer-first approach
  
  
• Assist with stock replenishment, inventory management, waste reduction and maintaining effective store processes
• Ensure compliance with food safety, workplace health and safety, responsible service of alcohol and airport requirements

What We’re Looking For:

We are looking for a confident, approachable and organised individual who enjoys leading people, solving problems and creating great customer experiences. You will bring:

• Previous supervisory or team leadership experience in retail, hospitality, cafés, bars or other fast-paced customer service environments
  
  
  
• A genuine passion for customer service and the ability to create a positive experience for every customer
  
  
• A hands-on leadership style, with a passion for coaching, mentoring and developing others
  
  
• Confidence in handling customer enquiries, resolving issues and making decisions during busy shifts
  
  
• An understanding of stock management, merchandising, food safety or hospitality operations will be highly regarded but not essential
  
  
• A proactive, flexible and solutions-focused approach, with the ability to adapt to the changing demands of an airport environment
  
  
• Strong communication skills and a positive attitude towards teamwork and continuous improvement

Experience across both retail and hospitality would be an advantage, but more importantly, we are looking for someone with the right attitude, leadership potential and willingness to learn.

Above all, you will be someone who enjoys being part of the action, takes pride in running a great shift and genuinely cares about the success of your team.
