SalaryOur team is looking for a passionate Sales Associate to join Harrods International at Gatwick Airport.
About The Role
You’ll be responsible for providing world class customer service, and demonstrate comprehensive knowledge of all products within the department and increase sales by selecting products to meet customer requirements.
You’ll also understand and properly execute all systems and POS procedures to ensure prompt and efficient sales transactions and full compliance.
In return you’ll receive an excellent benefits package, including a company pension, flexible working, 22 days’ holiday, and your birthday off, up to 33% in-store discount (including across our food hall and restaurants) and a season ticket loan.

- An out of the box thinking mentality, to surprise and delight customers with exceptional customer service and interpersonal skills.
