In this on-site, part-time role you’ll help keep the store’s day-to-day running smoothly, share in sales and budget responsibilities, and lead by example on the shop floor.

Day-to-day rhythm in the Amsterdam store

On a typical day you’ll interact directly with customers, sharing the story behind Motel a Miio’s ceramics and accessories and helping shoppers select pieces that match their style. You’ll also oversee the flow of daily operations, balancing sales targets with budgeting considerations while keeping the floor well-presented and stocked. You’ll keep the team energized and supported, leading by example in your own sales approach and customer service, and you’ll plan shifts to cover busy periods while maintaining smooth service. In addition, you’ll handle goods management to ensure stock accuracy and timely replenishment, so shelves stay inviting and products remain available.

Motel a Miio is growing and offers a culture that values openness and individuality, making it a place where you can develop your career while contributing to a friendly, design-driven retail experience.

Ways to stand out in your application

Lead with your direct customer service and store-operations experience, especially any time you handled sales targets or budgeting tasks and helped manage stock or scheduling. If you’ve trained or guided teammates or demonstrated leadership on the shop floor, highlight those moments up front so the reader sees you can drive results while supporting others.

Show concrete examples that prove your must-have skills: share short stories where you delivered exceptional service, led by example in sales, and collaborated effectively with a team while taking initiative. Where possible, quantify outcomes, like how your approach improved customer satisfaction or contributed to meeting a sales goal.

Be ready to walk through how you’d handle a busy day: discuss how you balance sales and budget responsibilities, how you’d schedule a team to cover peak times, and how you’d manage goods to keep inventory accurate and the floor appealing. You’ll also want to be ready to talk about your interest in design and interior decoration and how you’d translate that into helping customers choose pieces from Motel a Miio’s range.

When you ask questions, aim for specifics about how success is measured for this role, what the first few weeks would look like, and how the team collaborates on scheduling and stock management. You could also ask how the Motel a Miio concept and range are integrated into training so you can speak confidently about the product and its story.
