KNOW THE ROLE

We believe that our Sales Associates have a great opportunity to develop their full potential with us. That’s because we offer the support of a global organisation but empower our people to take responsibility at store level.  

We expect that our Sales Associates help deliver a memorable retail experience by:  

• Providing the highest level of customer service, ensuring that all customers are treated with respect
• Developing a thorough knowledge of products in store
• Maintaining merchandising standards in accordance with brand guidelines
• Keeping up to date with current trends and the brand’s place within the market
• Following all operational procedures in the store and in the stock room

 

KNOW WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

• You love interacting with customers. You set a great example for the rest of the team with your hands-on mentality, enthusiasm, and passion for delivering a fantastic customer experience
• You have a positive can-do attitude, facing all situations in the store
• You are passionate about our brand, fashion, and retail in general
• You have excellent written and verbal communication in English (another language is a plus but not necessary)
• You are flexible when it comes to working weekends, evenings and holidays as necessary

Previous experience is great but not necessary. What matters most of all is that you live and demonstrate our Guiding Principles: Live with Integrity, Act Courageously, Be Curious, Act with Empathy, and Persevere.

What’s in it for you?

We offer comprehensive benefits that encourage mental, physical and financial well-being for all VF associates. When it comes to benefits, we’re the total package.

Most companies say they offer a competitive salary, an amazing bonus and pension scheme and staff discounts (btw we offer 50%!). And we offer the same. Only different. Along with this you will have:

• Career ownership, enabling you to build your knowledge and experience across different brands  
• A supportive feedback-based culture where respect and integrity guide us in what we do 
• Tailored training. From an induction to ongoing online and face-to-face training sessions, we are committed to helping you grow, both professionally and personally 

Free to Be

We strive to foster a culture of belonging based on respect, connection, openness and authenticity. We are committed to building and maintaining a workplace that celebrates the diversity of our associates, allowing them to bring their authentic selves to work every day. 

As an equal opportunity and affirmative action employer, VF is committed to support disadvantaged groups whilst providing equal opportunities for both VF associates and applicants alike.
