Position Description and Objectives
Introduction
Bulleen Art & Garden aims to offer our customers a unique and rewarding experience. Over an extended period of time we have built up a reputation for being a garden centre with a focus on the community, the environment and real gardening. Through these objectives, we try to offer our customers a range of plants that they would not see elsewhere in a range of pot sizes that are good value for money.
As the Greenlife Manager, each decision that you make should be made with the overall goals and objectives of Bulleen Art & Garden in mind. Consider if we are helping to minimise our impact on the environment, if are we helping to build communities and if are we providing a good quality of product at the right price and size. If you are able to juggle the competing requirements of a retail nursery while working towards achieving the overall objectives of Bulleen Art & Garden you will find the role extremely rewarding and fulfilling.
Product Range
We keep an expansive range of greenstock at Bulleen Art & Garden, as the greenlife manager it is your responsibility to maintain and improve the range.

Your areas of responsibility in the sections will include:
Margin management
Expenses management (including wages)
