Job description

At adidas we have been challenging the status quo for 70 years and we're not done yet.

We are calling all Leads who don't accept what "was" or what "is," but those who want to create what will be, and who share our desire to make a difference.

Creators

Confidence

Use your retail experience to exceed customer expectations and help guide store associates. Create an emotional connection with every customer by being a passionate and enthusiastic adidas Brand ambassador.

Collaborator

You thrive on building relationships and working with your team.
