The energetic and conceptual creative best suited to this role will be required to:

• Collaborate with walk-in customers to brainstorm and develop unique workwear concepts.
• Bring fresh, innovative thinking to reimagine workwear customisation solutions and inspire customers with creative possibilities.
• Apply your design skills and knowledge of our customisation facilities to propose creative and practical solutions.
• Use your styling expertise to advise customers on product selection from our in-store workwear range, branding placement, colour combinations and overall presentation to create impactful workwear solutions.
• Bring energy and enthusiasm to every interaction, inspiring customers with what we can make possible.
• Have a passion for consistently delivering exceptional service and exceeding customers’ expectations.
• Pay meticulous attention to detail in all aspects of your work, from carefully detailed designs to systematic file organisation.
• Travel to Jonsson Workwear stores as required to support customisation initiatives, training opportunities and collaboration across locations.
• Actively assist customers on the retail floor, delivering exceptional service and creating a welcoming, memorable store experience.
