  • Merchandise stock on shelves and displays according to planograms and visual standards, ensuring shelves are fully faced and tidy.
  • Monitor sales performance and implement initiatives to meet or exceed daily, weekly, and monthly sales targets.
  • Receive, unpack, and price incoming stock deliveries, checking quantities against delivery notes and reporting discrepancies.
  • Conduct regular stock counts and cycle counts to maintain inventory accuracy and identify shrinkage issues promptly.
  • Handle customer returns and exchanges professionally, adhering to company policies while maintaining customer satisfaction.

Requirements

  • A minimum of one to three years of retail experience with proven customer service skills in a store environment.
  • A genuine passion for customer service with the ability to handle difficult situations calmly and professionally.
