He kōrero mōu: About you

You must have proven retail sales experience with drive and ambition to achieve sales targets. Providing manaakitanga to both visitors and the retail team on a day-to-day basis requires authenticity, resilience and empathy. You will also have excellent communication skills, a genuine interest in customers and the ability to adapt to different situations. You’ll need to be flexible and able to prioritise multiple responsibilities including transactions, enquiries, visual merchandising and assisting with stock deliveries.

Interest, education or work experience in the arts is beneficial, however, not essential.

What's vital is that you bring your passion for connection, working as a team, and the confidence to educate customers on our unique range of New-Zealand-made items, publications and design products.
