Cape Town sneakerheads and streetwear fans, this is the one! 🛹 👟
**VANS** is looking for a **Sales Assistant** for their flagship store at the **V&A Waterfront**. This isn't just a retail job; it’s a lifestyle move. If you live the "Off The Wall" culture and have at least a year of sales experience in streetwear or sneakers, you need to get your CV in today.
### 📍 The Quick Facts:
* **Role:** Sales Assistant
* **Location:** V&A Waterfront, Cape Town
* **Salary:** R8k – R12k total package (Basic + Commission)
* **Closing Date:** 12 May 2026 (**14 Days Left!**)
* **The Big Perk:** **R10,000 Staff Allocation** per year (Yes, free gear!) + 40-50% Staff Discount.
### 🛠️ What the Job *Actually* Is
You’re selling VANS culture at South Africa’s busiest mall. You’ll be styling locals and international tourists, managing a curated "VANS" environment, and hitting daily sales targets.
* **50% Styling & Sales:** You need to know your *Old Skools* from your *UltraRanges*.
* **25% Visual Merchandising:** Keeping the store looking iconic.
* **25% Admin & Operations:** Tills, stock replenishment, and reporting.
### 🚩 The "Jobbing101" Reality Check
* **"Love the Brand" is a Rule:** If you don’t actually follow skate, surf, or sneaker culture, don't apply. They want authentic brand ambassadors, not just "cashiers."
* **Streetwear Exp Required:** Experience at Shoprite or a grocery store won't cut it. They want people from **Sportscene, Archive, Shesha, Side Step, or Sneaker District**.
* **The Waterfront Hustle:** V&A is open 7 days a week. You *will* work weekends and every public holiday. December leave? Forget about it—that's peak season!
* **KPIs are Real:** This is a performance-driven role. If you don't like being measured on daily targets and conversion rates, this isn't for you.
### ✅ Who Should Apply?
* **Experience:** 1 year+ in retail sales (ideally streetwear/sneakers).
* **Vibe:** You skate, surf, BMX, or are deeply into youth culture and sneaker drops.
* **Attitude:** High energy, fearless creativity, and a "Stay True" mindset.
### ❌ Who Should SKIP This?
* No previous retail sales experience.
* No interest in extreme sports or streetwear.
* Unable to work the heavy retail hours required by the V&A Waterfront.
* Looking for a "chill" job without sales targets.
**Pro-Tip:** If you get an interview, wear your best VANS and show them you know the brand history. They hire for culture fit first!
