About our Business

Since our humble thrift shop beginnings, we’ve come a long way in the second-hand space, growing into a global reuse champion and driver of the Thrift Proud™ movement. As champions of reuse, we’re committed to keeping one-of-a-kind finds out of landfill and helping people reuse, repurpose and upcycle – to experience the joy of thrift shopping for the good of hip pockets, and the planet. But how we do it, and the people that we do it with, matters a great deal.

Following a rich 25-year history of operating in Melbourne and Adelaide, this year we have expanded into Sydney, with two store locations at Hoxton Park and Darlinghurst, and more to come in 2025! We are now looking for our next District Manager to lead the Sydney region. If you are an experienced store manager looking to step up, or a multi-site manager that feels passionate about making secondhand, second nature, we want to meet you.

About the Role

Reporting to the Managing Director, the District Manager is responsible for overseeing the operations across Sydney, driving success and excellence across our locations.

A typical day might include:

• Developing and supporting the implementation of strategies to ensure performance, sales and budgets
• Partnering with Store Managers to analyse the previous week’s results and adjust the sales floor and production room to maximise sales
• Meeting with the People Services team to map out a talent and succession plan for a new store
• Meeting with the Warehouse Operations Manager to discuss the product needs of your stores

We are a team of thrifters, always searching for the unique and one-of-a-kind finds.
