Universe manager / Department manager

Description

Just like the department manager within the company, the universe manager manages a department defined within a sales outlet. He is in charge of his activity, recruitment, animation and training of his team. Thus, the manager of the ski universe will have the same functions as the manager of the snowboard universe, but with a different team and different products. He/she develops and leads the sales team, manages the stock and responds to customer needs. He is also responsible for the operating result generated by his team and must manage his resources independently.
