Since 2001, Sleepy’s has helped Australians sleep healthier through premium, exclusive products, expert advice and a consultative in‑store approach that goes far beyond transactional retail. With 23 stores nationally and continued growth, Sleepy’s is redefining what great sleep retail looks like.
Davidson is proudly partnering with Sleepy’s to appoint a sales‑focused Store Sales Manager for its Canberra store.
About the role
This is a hands‑on leadership role for someone who enjoys being on the floor, leading by example and building a strong, capable team.
You will:
- Lead a high‑performing store through visible, hands‑on leadership
- Drive sales performance, commercial outcomes and customer experience
- Coach, develop and inspire a consultative sales team
- Create a personalised, trust‑based customer journey the ‘Sleepy’s Way’
- Take ownership of store standards, daily operations and financial results
- Balance leadership, accountability and personal sales performance with confidence
This role suits someone who enjoys combining human connection with evolving thinking - someone curious about how innovation, new insights into sleep health and emerging technologies (including AI over time) will continue to shape how customers shop for better sleep.
About you
You are a people‑first leader with strong sales instincts and a consultative mindset.
You likely:
- Have experience building trust in face‑to‑face customer environments (retail, service or advisory roles)
- Know how to ask better questions, listen deeply and guide customers toward confident decisions
- Are comfortable overcoming objections and confidently asking for the sale
- Bring energy, curiosity, initiative and accountability to your leadership style
- In a retailer where change is a constant, you role-model and inspire your team to adapt and excel
- Are commercially minded and comfortable in a 7‑day retail environment with a rotating weekend roster
Backgrounds we strongly encourage to apply:
Experience in consultative, trust‑based environments is highly valued. We welcome applications from former health professionals, allied health practitioners, wellness specialists or anyone who has helped people make important, personal decisions.
What’s on offer
- Industry-leading base salary with strong incentive and OTE potential
- A genuinely premium brand with a modern customer proposition
- Specialist training in sales, leadership and sleep health
- Ongoing support and development from a growing national business
- The opportunity to make a visible impact in store and in customers’ lives
This is a rare opportunity to lead a premium retail business, develop a high‑performing team and make a genuine difference to how Australians sleep.
If you’re ready for a role that blends performance, purpose and progression, we want to hear from you.
