Our team is looking for a Sales Specialist in our Harrods store at Gatwick to create an unforgettable experience for visitors from all over the world.
About The Role
You’ll be responsible for providing world class customer service, demonstrating exceptional product knowledge and building quality customer relationships to achieve business goals whilst being an ambassador for the Harrods brand.
Please note, due to the location of this role, all successful applicants will need to provide satisfactory references for the last 5 years and undergo a Criminal Record Check to obtain an airside pass. Ideally you will already hold an airside pass which will fast track the application, but this is not essential.
Due to the current unprecedented demand on the Airport ID unit, new airside pass applications are currently taking approximately 3 months from point of application. Further details regarding timeframes will be provided at interview stage.
About You
With a retail background, ideally within senior sales, our expectations, standards and pace will stretch and develop you. We’re a friendly team that works together and shares the pressures, but don’t under-estimate the challenges. Ours is a fast-paced environment and you’ll need:
• Previous experience within retail or customer service.
• The communication skills to make a quick, long-lasting impact in a highly skilled team.
• A genuine interest and passion for Harrods.
• Self-motivation to learn and develop your product and industry knowledge.
• An out of the box thinking mentality, to surprise and delight customers with exceptional customer service and interpersonal skills.
• A strong ability to work within a team.
• Great organisational skills to keep the shop floor running smoothly.
• Ability to work morning and evening shifts as well as weekends.
About Us
Our Harrods store in Gatwick plays a key part in attracting hundreds of customers that visit the airport. As the world’s leading luxury retail emporium, we combine prestigious brands with sublime surroundings and magical customer experiences. Here, world-leading brands meet world-class service.
Our Promise To You
Share our drive to create seemingly impossible luxury experiences for customers, then this will be a hugely important move for you. As well as the chance to learn from true retail experts, you’ll have the satisfaction of working with world-class brands and a team that’s setting the standards for the industry.
As you build a long-lasting career with us, you will enjoy a package that includes 22 days’ holiday, up to 33% Harrods’ discount, plus access to a competitive pension.
Uniquely You
At Harrods we believe the personality and authenticity of our people sets us apart. We celebrate and invite applications from all cultures, backgrounds, tastes, and experiences and are proud of our culture where people from all walks of life can grow and thrive.
