- Protect the store’s merchandise by watching for suspicious activity and reporting it right away.
- Follow adidas security steps and the SLAP (Store Loss‑Prevention) guidelines.
- Join adidas training sessions, both in‑store and online (like Atticus and AREA), to grow product knowledge.
- Use Power BI tools to see how the store is performing and learn which items sell best.
- Help out as a greeter during busy times, especially at the entrance.
- Work as a team member, sharing ideas and supporting colleagues to reach sales goals.
- Take on any other reasonable tasks the manager assigns.

- Comfort in a fast‑moving, high‑traffic environment.
- Good eye for detail when handling money, checking stock, or setting up displays.
- Willingness to take part in ongoing training and to keep learning about adidas products.
