As a Sports Advisor/Sales Assistant, your role is to ensure all customers leave our stores happy. You will be a crucial player in providing exceptional customer service and driving sales. From a friendly and professional welcome to a quick and easy payment process, your role is to always deliver a champion shopping experience at Decathlon.

Decathlon Cambridge is located in The Grafton Centre in the city centre. This is an exciting opportunity to make sport accessible in the Cambridge city with sport passionate teammates.

Decathlon invests in the development of teammates so that those who want to build careers within the business are able to flourish within their roles. In a nutshell, your responsibilities will include:
**Customer Service -** Through your passion for sports, you’ll share tips and experiences with users. Through our hands-on product training, you will be able to give the best technical advice for the sports you are responsible for. Decathlon has shifted over the last year into an omnichannel business so it’s essential that our sales assistants are able to assist customers in all aspects of retail shopping, whether that’s in-store or online

**Merchandising -** Whether full-time or part-time, every Sales Assistant is encouraged to take responsibility for autonomously managing stock levels and pricing and to provide a high level of merchandising so that each customer can easily find the right product for their sports practice.

**Being a team player -** You’ll be part of a shop floor team of like-minded Sports Advisors, working for and practising sport, and celebrating victories together, so it’s important that you are able to work well within a team environment but independently as well.
