The role

At Decathlon, sport is our engine and our day-to-day. But we know that every customer is unique, which is why in Majadahonda we look for profiles that do not just sell products, but connect with the real needs of our community.

We are in constant evolution and today we are looking for people who dare, who take decisions and who want to specialize in one of our two key profiles:

Which profile do you identify with more?
1.

Are you a person with natural empathy and the ability to multitask? We are looking for someone who understands that "back to school" or equipping a child is an important mission for a family.

  • Your mission: Manage high-volume purchases with patience, organization, and expert knowledge of sizing.

  • Your Skills: Maximum empathy, great organizational capacity, and the ability to manage several fronts at once.

  • Your objective: To be the trusted guide for the families who visit our store.

2.

Are you passionate about yoga, pilates, or cardio? Are you always up to date with the latest trends in fabrics and seasonal colors?

  • Your mission: Convey technical credibility and advise our premium client who seeks performance and style in equal measure.

  • Your Skills: Local influencer, high technical capacity in fitness products, and mastery in cross-selling.

  • Your objective: To inspire our female athletes with the most innovative and aesthetic solutions on the market.

Requirements

1. Active Passion for Sport and Technical Profile

It is not enough that you like sport; we want it to be your lifestyle. We require knowledge in Yoga, Pilates, or Fitness, with the ability to advise on fabric technicality and current trends.

2. Orientation to Customer Experience (Empathy)

We look for profiles that understand sales as an act of personalized advice. You must be able to adapt your language: from the patience and closeness necessary to help a family with complete equipment for children (back to school). In Majadahonda, we do not dispatch products, we generate bonds of trust that make the customer come back to us.

3. Management and Multitasking Capacity (Organization)

Especially for the family profile, it is vital to be a methodical and organized person. The candidate must be able to manage peaks of attendance, maintain the order of their perimeter, and advise several customers simultaneously without losing quality in service.

4. Digital Mentality and Cross-selling

We look for profiles that master omnichannel sales. You must feel comfortable offering solutions from both the physical store and the online catalog, and have the ability to perform cross-selling (completing the look or the technical equipment) to maximize customer satisfaction and the average ticket.

5. Proactivity and Decision Making

At Decathlon Majadahonda, we do not look for passive profiles. We need people with autonomy to manage their stock, propose changes in the aisle based on the trends they detect ("Local Influencer"), and who are not afraid to take daily decisions to improve their section.
