I’m a retail store manager thinking about moving into a corporate/HQ role. Which corporate roles tend to open up most often for people coming from the store side? Would LOVE to hear from anyone who has championed the transition themselves.

I’ve seen someone transition to HR, but I am not sure an educational background in it 🤔. I’d imagjne that you wouldn’t need to have a background in HR to get into it, if you aren’t looking to be a manager or head of HR.

Operations or training roles are easier to get into than most. Be patient and keep an eye on internal jobs that open up. That will be your best bet.

People I’ve seen make that jump often land in: store operations, field/territory management, training/L&D, merchandising, or customer experience roles. Your on‑the‑ground understanding of store reality is gold for any team that designs processes for stores.

What is the average amount of time to fill a role? How long in advance should a recruiter start working with a hiring manager to get their position posted? I think it depends on the industry but curious to hear if there is a national average and if that number is even realistic given the increased number of roles in the market. Also curious to know what average numbers some of you are seeing in your companies.

To those at V25 firms, how do you view your London office in terms of the quality of work we get and overall importance to the firm?

Be brutally honest.
