The company puts its people at the heart of what it does, aiming for a high-performance culture and excellent operations. If you live for sneakers and enjoy helping customers during peak periods, this could be a great fit.

This particular role is a full-time Christmas Sales Assistant based onsite in Manukau, stepping in to keep the shop buzzing during the busiest time of year. If you enjoy fast-paced days, good energy on the shop floor, and collaborating with a team to hit targets, you’ll likely feel at home.

A typical shift on the shop floor

On a given day you’ll guide customers toward the right sneakers, help them explore the latest drops, and make their visit a positive one. When not assisting shoppers, you’ll contribute to stock movement by receiving deliveries, reordering shelves, and ensuring displays stay inviting. You’ll also help pick and pack online orders, keeping the store tidy and organized so everything remains easy to shop. It’s a team effort, and bringing good vibes and a cooperative attitude to every shift makes a real difference during the busy season.

• A passion for sneakers, streetwear, and delivering standout customer service
• Comfort with a fast-moving retail environment and a team-oriented mindset
• Self-motivation and a drive to achieve personal and team goals
• Open to learning, receptive to feedback, and eager to bring your best to every shift

• Retail experience is helpful but not essential
