Are you the kind of leader who makes a team better just by being in the room?
Whether you’ve built your career behind the optical dispensing bench, in the fast lane of retail management, or somewhere in between, we want to hear from you. At Zoom Optics, we’re looking for a Store Manager for our beautiful Macquarie Centre clinic who brings genuine leadership presence, a passion for people, and the drive to build something special. This role is open to standout candidates from a few different paths, because great leadership shows up in more ways than one.
Who We’re Looking For
- You may be a Senior Optical Dispenser ready to step into leadership
You know eyewear inside and out. You’ve been the person others come to for guidance, and
you’ve probably been doing the manager’s job without the title. Now it’s time
to make it official.
- Or you could be an experienced Retail or Service Manager from outside optics
You’ve led high-performing teams, owned your KPIs, and thrived in a customer-focused environment. You’re ready to bring that commercial sharpness somewhere with real purpose and a premium product.
- Or maybe Someone who has it all
Optical expertise and leadership experience. If that’s you, you already know how rare that combination is. We’d love to talk.

Our Macquarie Centre clientele is beautifully diverse, and a significant part of our community is Chinese-speaking. Candidates who speak Mandarin or Cantonese will have a genuine advantage in connecting with and serving our clients though this isn’t a barrier to applying if you bring exceptional strengths in other areas.
What the Role Actually Looks Like
- Lead, coach, and develop a close-knit team, celebrating wins and building capability every day
- Drive sales performance with commercialinstincts and an eye on the numbers
- Create a premium in-store experience, fromvisual merchandising to client journey
- Own the operations, rostering, stock, compliance, and the little things that keep a store humming
- Be the glue between our retail team and our clinical staff, making sure the two work seamlessly together
What You Bring
- Proven experience leading people, whether that’s a retail team, an optical dispensing floor, or something in between
- A people-first mindset with the commercial accumen to back it up
- Strong organisational skills and genuine pride in your work
- A warm, professional presence that puts both clients and team members at ease
- Working rights in Australia
