Ambitious? Competitive? Interested in learning how a business actually operates?

Start with the fundamentals. Learn how to sell. Develop into a leader.

Aurum Wireless is looking for ambitious, motivated individuals who want to build real‑world business and leadership skills through hands‑on experience.

This isn't a traditional classroom training program or a position where you'll spend your day sitting behind a desk.

Our Business Management Trainee opportunity begins with learning the fundamentals of sales, customer engagement, communication, and retail operations.

As you develop, you may have opportunities to take on additional responsibilities involving team development, coaching, performance management, and daily business operations.

You don't need a business degree or previous management experience to get started.

We care about your ambition, work ethic, coachability, professionalism, and willingness to learn.

If you've ever thought about leading a team, managing a business, or building a career in leadership, we want to meet you.

What makes this opportunity different?

Learn business from the ground up. Gain hands‑on experience in customer acquisition, sales, communication, and retail operations.

Develop leadership skills. Learn how strong teams are built, coached, motivated, and managed.

Understand performance. Gain exposure to sales goals, productivity, accountability, and business results.

Receive hands‑on coaching. Work with experienced team members and leaders who can help you develop professionally.

Earn while you learn. Receive compensation with opportunities for performance-based incentives under the applicable pay plan.

Build toward management. Strong performers may be considered for additional leadership responsibilities and management opportunities.

No management experience required. We're looking for potential, not just previous job titles.

What you'll learn

Phase 1 — Sales & Communication

Develop the fundamentals of customer engagement, product knowledge, sales presentations, negotiation, and professional communication.

Phase 2 — Teamwork & Performance

Learn how daily goals are established, performance is measured, sales activities are tracked, and teams work toward shared objectives.

Phase 3 — Leadership Development

As performance and readiness allow, gain opportunities to assist with onboarding, coach teammates, communicate expectations, and support team development.

Phase 4 — Business Operations

Qualified trainees may gain exposure to scheduling, reporting, retail operations, operational planning, and broader management responsibilities.

Progression through these areas depends on performance, demonstrated readiness, available opportunities, and business needs. Completion does not guarantee promotion.

What you'll do

• Begin by learning and performing customer-facing retail sales.
• Engage customers and recommend appropriate wireless products and services.
• Participate in structured coaching and training.
• Learn company sales processes and operational procedures.
• Maintain accurate sales records and work toward performance goals.
• Develop communication, negotiation, and problem‑solving skills.
• Observe and learn effective leadership and coaching techniques.
• Support team activities and operational responsibilities as assigned.
• Demonstrate reliability, accountability, and professionalism.
• Work toward additional responsibilities as your skills develop.

Who thrives in this program?

We're looking for individuals who are:

• Ambitious: You want to build a meaningful career, not just find another job.
• Competitive: You enjoy setting challenging goals and working toward them.
• Coachable: You welcome feedback and continuously improve.
• Leadership‑minded: You enjoy helping others and taking responsibility.
• Adaptable: You can learn quickly and handle new challenges.
• Dependable: You take commitments, schedules, and responsibilities seriously.
• Professional: You understand that long‑term success depends on customer trust and ethical business practices.

Previous experience in sales, retail, customer service, hospitality, athletics, or team leadership is welcome, but not required.

Your potential career path

We believe effective leaders understand the work they ask others to perform.

Our approach begins with hands‑on sales experience and builds toward leadership development.

Depending on performance, qualifications, and business needs, successful employees may be considered for opportunities such as:

• Sales Representative
• Sales Team Lead
• Sales Manager
• Market‑level leadership opportunities

This is a development opportunity, not a guaranteed management promotion. Advancement depends on individual performance, leadership ability, available positions, and company needs.

What to expect

This is an active, customer‑facing opportunity inside a big‑box retail environment.

The initial responsibilities focus on sales and customer engagement. Leadership and operational exposure may expand as you demonstrate readiness.

You'll be expected to initiate customer conversations, work toward measurable goals, accept coaching, and maintain high professional standards.

If you're looking for a position where you can learn by doing and challenge yourself to grow, this may be a strong fit.

Compensation and schedule

• Compensation according to the applicable trainee pay plan.
• Performance‑based commissions or bonuses where eligible.
• Full‑time employment.
• Weekend availability as needed.
• Hands‑on sales and leadership development.

Specific compensation, benefits, incentive eligibility, training expectations, and advancement opportunities will be explained during the hiring process.

Ready to build your future?

You don't need years of management experience to begin developing leadership skills.

You need the discipline to learn, the confidence to take initiative, and the ambition to improve.

Aurum Wireless is an equal opportunity employer.
