Who are we? At 370+ stores globally and over 3000 employees, we are a leading outdoor retailer, with an always-evolving attitude. You can find out about our fantastic own-brand products, as well as our newly launched brands, such as Animal, at www.mountainwarehouse.com. We’re working hard on sustainability, introducing more and more organic and recycled products - One Planet. Check out our “Inside the Outdoors” section, where you can explore the outdoors, find expert advice on how to choose your ski pants or top tips for dog owners, and learn about some of our charity ventures.

* International - we have stores in Europe across Poland, Germany and Austria, across the pond in Canada and the USA, and our latest adventure is in New Zealand!

* Animal was acquired by Mountain Warehouse and re-launched in the Summer of 2021, initially with an online presence only, before we moved to showcasing a range in some of our stores. We are so excited to be opening our first stores.

You will be responsible for leading, developing and inspiring your team, in an environment where product knowledge is really important to our customers who often have a real passion for the outdoors.

We’re all Brand Ambassadors here!

We are looking for passionate and driven people from a similar work background. Retail Management experience is a must, organisational skills second to none, a commercial hero, and a flair for Visual Merchandising.
