More Information

French Affair imports beautiful European tablecloths and homewares to sell online and at pop-up shops in Sydney.  I specialise in stain-resistant tablecloths from Spain and France as well as custom made tablecloths to fit any size table.  French Affair also has a selection of homewares and gifts.

The pop-up shop is at St Ives Shopping Village for a few weeks every three or four months.  I also have a stall at markets and French festivals throughout Sydney and further afield.

I have had a casual team member help in the popup shop to give me a break. She has now returned to France, so I’m looking for a new pop-up shop assistant. I’m excited to offer the opportunity for someone to join with me to continue the growth and success of my small business.     

The Role

I’m looking for a casual retail sales person to work in the French Affair pop-up shop at St. Ives Shopping Village.

Your friendly smile and positive manner will immediately put customers at ease. With strong communication skills, good product knowledge and excellent customer service, you will make each customer feel special and drive sales for the business.

The Hours

This is a casual role.

You would be available for training with me at the pop-up shop at St Ives for a few days in late October as well as at a market in Sydney in mid-November.  You will then work at the pop-up shop at St Ives on your own for two to three days a week in December. Your work days would be during the week from 9am to 5pm.

We have a break for a few months at the beginning of the year with the opportunity to continue in the role next year.

Your Responsibilities 

Your role is to provide outstanding customer service, be a fabulous representative for French Affair and help increase the profitability of the business. You will achieve this through the following: 

  • Open pop-up shop in the morning and finesse the display ready for trade.
  • Greet customers and make them feel welcome.
  • Answer customer’s questions by providing accurate information on products, their features and prices.
  • Provide outstanding customer service by listening carefully to their requirements and finding the best solution to meet their needs.
  • Drive sales through engagement of customers, cross selling and sharing product knowledge.
  • Keep accurate records of every sale through the POS system.
  • Manage financial transactions – either cash payments or processing credit cards.
  • Replenish stock and adjust the display as needed to ensure the pop-up shop always looks great.
  • Close pop-up shop in the evening ensuring it has been adequately secured.
  • Provide feedback on customer concerns, product requests or other important issues.

Is This You?

Do you think you would be a good fit to represent my business?  I’m hoping you will have the following skills:

  • Stylish personal presentation to reflect our high quality product range.
  • Previous work experience in retail sales or in another role dealing with clients would be ideal.
  • Ability to maintain an attractive retail product display
  • Accuracy and attention to detail
  • Reliable and dependable
  • Excellent communication and customer relationship building skills
  • Ability to work unsupervised
