What you'll be doing

We're on the lookout for a Keyholder to join our Ambleside Alpkit Team, as a key holder for the store you will support the Store Manager in driving sales and providing world class customer service. You will love being on the shop floor with our customers, whilst sharing your knowledge of the outdoors, advising on the best kit for the adventures they are going on and sharing the best of the local area. 

The role will involve being responsible for opening and closing the store when the Store Manager/Assistant Store Manager are absent and assisting with deliveries. 

You will want to get involved with both Sonder and Retail and have a passion for the whole outdoors.
