What the job is all about
As a Sales Associate you will be the face of the American Swiss brand. Every day you will:
- Greet shoppers with a smile and make them feel welcome.
- Listen to what customers need and suggest the right pieces of jewellery or accessories.
- Keep the store tidy, stocked and looking good so shoppers want to stay longer.

- Stay up‑to‑date with the newest jewellery styles, fashion trends and store promotions.
- Help restock shelves and arrange displays that catch the eye.

- Brand ambassador: Show pride in the American Swiss name and talk about it in a positive way.
- Customer service: Provide a friendly experience that makes shoppers remember the store.
- Relationship building: Ask questions, understand preferences and recommend items that suit each person.

- Goal‑oriented attitude: You like setting targets and working hard to reach them.
- Good communication: Clear speaking and writing skills help you explain product details and answer questions.

- Attention to detail: Small things—like a missing price tag or a misplaced pendant—can affect the whole shop.
