Who is adidas looking for?
adidas wants a friendly, motivated person who likes fashion and enjoys helping shoppers.

If you love sneakers, clothes, or just being around people, this could be a great start for you.
What the job is all about
You will work side‑by‑side with the store manager and the rest of the team. Every day you’ll do a mix of customer service, sales, stock handling, and keeping the store looking sharp. The shop is busy, so you’ll need to stay on your feet and be ready to switch tasks quickly.

- Follow adidas security procedures to protect the store’s stock.
Training & development
