The Role

This is a sales\-focused role. You will be on the shop floor engaging customers, demonstrating our product range and closing sales. Every customer interaction is a selling opportunity and we expect you to treat it that way.

Emma Sleep products sit at a premium price point and require a consultative approach. You will be advising customers, handling objections and building enough trust that they feel confident in their purchase decision. Your commission earnings will directly reflect how well you do this.

  • Maintain premium store standards at all times

  • Represent the Emma Sleep brand with professionalism and enthusiasm

  • Share customer feedback and insight with the Store Manager
What We’re Looking For
  • Minimum 3 year of retail or direct sales experience — required

  • A proven track record of working to sales targets

  • Strong communication skills and the ability to build rapport quickly

  • Self\-motivated with a competitive attitude toward performance

  • Reliable, professional and committed to every shift

  • Weekend and weekday availability — non\-negotiable
Preferred Background
  • Experience in bedding, furniture, interiors or premium home products — advantageous

  • Full product training — we will make you an expert in the Emma Sleep range

  • Generous staff discount on Emma Sleep products

  • Real opportunity to grow as the store and team expand

  • A supportive team environment in a brand\-new store
