The role

At Decathlon, sport is part of our DNA. In our Mountain and Camping section, we live adventure every day, whether it's summiting peaks or enjoying a night under the stars.

We are looking for PASSIONATE MOUNTAIN SALES ASSOCIATES to join our team. People who dare to make decisions, who are not afraid of challenges, and who want to share their technical expertise to equip our customers' dreams.

What we would love you to be like:

Mountain enthusiast: Hiking, trekking, or mountaineering should be part of your life, and you should enjoy sharing that passion.
Product expert: You should be passionate about understanding the technologies behind a Gore-Tex boot, the thermal capacity of a sleeping bag, or the importance of weight in a trekking backpack.
Technical advisor: Able to provide the best experience and safety for our customers, ensuring that the gear they choose is right for their next adventure.
Manager of your perimeter: Responsible for stock availability and product display (merchandising), ensuring that your sport shines both in the physical store and online.
Innovative spirit: Eager to propose solutions to improve sports practice and sustainability in our natural environment.

Because you matter to us:

Continuous learning: You will receive technical training in mountain gear and commercial management in an environment where mistakes are part of the learning process.
Career plan: We encourage internal promotion; today you can be a sales associate and tomorrow lead a snow sports or climbing project.
Shareholding: We give you the opportunity to own the company you work for.
Benefits for your practice: Discounts, health and life insurance, and agreements so you can keep exploring new routes with the best gear.

Requirements

Mountaineer DNA: You are an athletic person who incorporates the mountains, hiking, or camping as a regular activity in your life. You know the terrain and what gear is needed in every situation.
Availability of working hours including weekends.
Education: University degree or higher vocational training (valued).
