Sportswear Sales Associate

Job Title: Sportswear Sales Associate
Number of Positions:Five
Location: Nairobi
Our client isn’t just selling shoes—they’re powering the rhythm of Nairobi. From early-morning runners in Karura Forest to weekend ballers and street-style tastemakers in the CBD, their brand moves with the city. They’re looking for an energetic, sports-obsessed individual who can help customers find the perfect fit while delivering a world-class shopping experience every step of the way.
Key Responsibilities

• Product Expertise: Stay up-to-date on the latest footwear technology (cushioning, stability, breathability) and apparel trends to provide expert advice.
• Sales Targets: Meet and exceed daily and monthly sales KPIs through proactive engagement and up selling or cross selling.
• Visual Merchandising: Keep the shelves looking "top-tier." Ensure shoes are laced correctly, sizes are stocked, and the floor is clutter-free.
• Inventory & POS: Assist with stock takes and deliveries. Process transactions accurately using our POS system (handling Cash, M-Pesa, and Card payments).
• Brand Ambassadorship: Represent the brand’s values both inside and outside the store.
Desirable skills
• You are fluent in English and Swahili. If you can throw in some Sheng to build rapport with the younger crowd, even better!
• You have a genuine passion for sports or fitness culture.
• You have a "can-do" attitude and don't mind being on your feet all day.
• You’re comfortable with digital inventory tools and social media.
Requirements
• Diploma in Business or Marketing is a plus.
• Minimum of 1 year’s proven retail sales experience in the fashion or sportswear industry is mandatory.

• Flexible to work weekends, late shifts, and public holidays.
• High energy, punctual, and well-groomed.
