Operations Manager - Italy
We have great plans for the expansion of NORMAL in Italy, and here is the chance to join our team from the early beginning of our new adventure.
NORMAL is no normal company.
Founded in 2013 in Denmark, Normal is an atypical and fast-growing retail brand.
We empower and extensively delegate to our employees, always for the greater good of Normal. We play to win, not to avoid losing. We are not afraid of trying out new things, and we operate as a strong community, always working together toward one common goal – delivering an excellent customer experience.

You will also take part in opening new stores and training managers and teams to deliver the genuine Normal customer experience.

- Support function for the stores;
- Sparring to ensure optimal staff planning and wages;
- Daily follow-up regarding stock issues: Receipts, write-downs, targeted counts, stock levels, and analysis of similar indicators;
- Follow-up on daily operations: Wages, cash management, necessary corrections, analyses of similar indicators, wastage check-up, stock levels etc.;
- Training of store managers and staff implementing routines and procedures and acting as back-up;
What We’re Looking For
We are seeking a hands-on, experienced retailer who wants to be involved in the business and thrives in a fast-paced environment. You take action when needed, value teamwork, and help foster a strong, down-to-earth culture.
You are also:
- Structured, detail-oriented, and have strong analytical skills;
- A motivating leader who wants the team to succeed;

- Energetic and proative
- Fluent in Italian and English, both written and spoken
