• Build product expertise and staying current through Oakley training.
• Create an inclusive experience: treating everyone with fairness and respect, and helping to build a welcoming environment where customers and colleagues feel seen

• Love connecting with people and can build rapport quickly
• Are confident talking about product benefits and helping customers choose
• Bring energy and resilience, you can stay focused when it's fast-paced
