Key Responsibilities:
- Exceptional Customer Service:
Your role begins with putting the customer first. As a Sales Assistant, you’ll greet customers, engage in meaningful conversations, and offer tailored product recommendations based on individual preferences. You’ll be the go-to person for helping customers with inquiries, product availability, and ensuring they have an unforgettable shopping experience. Through attentive listening, you will anticipate their needs and offer solutions that create loyal, happy customers. - Store Presentation and Visual Merchandising:
First impressions matter, and part of your responsibility will be to ensure that the store is visually appealing at all times. From product displays to overall cleanliness, you will be instrumental in creating an inviting shopping environment that reflects our brand’s style and aesthetic. Keeping the store neat, organized, and fully stocked is vital to ensuring the store runs efficiently and customers have access to the latest trends. - Stock Management and Replenishment:
As a member of our retail team, you’ll help manage stock levels to ensure products are always available for customers. This includes assisting with stock deliveries, organizing the stockroom, and replenishing the sales floor. Your attention to detail will help to ensure that products are neatly arranged and easy to locate.

We believe that great service starts with great product knowledge. As a Sales Assistant, you will stay up to date with the latest products and fashion trends, so you can confidently advise customers on their purchasing decisions. You’ll be encouraged to learn about our entire product range, ensuring you can speak knowledgeably about our collections, new arrivals, and promotions. In doing so, you will serve as a passionate advocate for the Cotton On brand and embody its values of style, affordability, and inclusivity. - Achieving Sales Targets and KPIs:
While delivering excellent customer service is your top priority, you will also contribute to the store’s sales goals. You’ll help the team meet individual and collective targets by engaging customers, offering cross-selling opportunities, and suggesting add-on purchases. Your efforts will be crucial in achieving store performance and contributing to the overall success of the business.

While previous retail experience is a plus, we are happy to provide training for candidates who have the right attitude, work ethic, and enthusiasm. If you have experience working in customer-facing roles or enjoy helping others, this will give you a head start in the role. - Positive and Enthusiastic Attitude:
You will need a can-do attitude, even when working under pressure. Retail can be demanding, but a positive outlook and a willingness to pitch in will make you a valued member of the team. - Ability to Work Flexibly:
