Sales Specialist - Heathrow Airport

Our team is looking for a Sales Specialist in our Harrods store at Heathrow to create an unforgettable experience for visitors from all over the world. 

Whether you’re a recent school, college or university leaver, or you’re looking to restart your career in an exciting new field, at Harrods we firmly believe in offering exciting career opportunities.

About the Role 

You’ll be responsible for providing world class customer service, demonstrating exceptional product knowledge and building quality customer relationships to achieve business goals whilst being an ambassador for the Harrods brand. 

Please note, due to the location of this role, all successful applicants will need to provide satisfactory references for the last 5 years and undergo a Criminal Record Check to obtain an airside pass. Ideally you will already hold an airside pass which will fast track the application, but this is not essential.  

Due to the current demand on the Airport ID unit, new airside pass applications are currently taking approximately 3 months from point of application. Further details regarding timeframes will be provided at interview stage. 

About You 

With a retail background, ideally within senior sales, our expectations, standards and pace will stretch and develop you. We’re a friendly team that works together and shares the pressures, but don’t under-estimate the challenges. Ours is a fast-paced environment and you’ll need: 

• Previous experience within retail or customer service. 
• The communication skills to make a quick, long-lasting impact in a highly skilled team. 
• A genuine interest and passion for Harrods. 
• Self-motivation to learn and develop your product and industry knowledge. 
• An out of the box thinking mentality, to surprise and delight customers with exceptional customer service and interpersonal skills. 
• A strong ability to work within a team. 
• Great organisational skills to keep the shop floor running smoothly. 
• Ability to work morning and evening shifts as well as weekends.
