Your role in the JoJo story…
Ready for the next step in your retail career? We're looking for a Senior Customer Advisor to help deliver exceptional customer experiences and keep our store running beautifully. You'll combine customer service, product knowledge and a little team coordination — and when the Store Manager is out of store, you'll be the go-to person for the team.
Each JoJo store is unique whether that’s trading over two floors, having a quirky layout or being situated in an interesting place. They have a life of their own. Our Unique Selling Point (USP) in this ever-changing retail world is the relationship we build with our customers, many of them loyal to our brand and to their local store team. This is where you come in - you’ll be the face of JoJo providing a fantastic level of customer care and service that we are renowned for and one we pride ourselves in upholding always. You’ll be guiding, informing, and assisting our customers in the correct purchase of our huge range of clothing and products. This could be an expectant parent, an excited grandparent or other friends or family.
Our B Corp principles are so important, and every member of our teams will always uphold them. As we move into a digital retail world, offering an Omni-Channel customer service is expected as this builds on customer loyalty. As such most of our stores offer Ship from Store or Click and Collect options, you will take ownership of preparing and shipping all such orders daily.
A peek into your daily adventures:
• Help customers in all sorts of situations, from choosing the right products to demonstrating a baby carrier to an intrigued parent
- Listen closely to what customers need and find the best solution for them
- Prepare Omni-Channel orders and keep customers updated in store or by phone
- Keep learning through our digital and virtual learning platforms, and share your growing product knowledge

- Help coordinate tasks and guide your colleagues during the shift
A typical week would be 2 x 7.5 and 2 x 5 hour shifts however, flexibility is required in line with store requirements.
Skills that make you shine:
• Previous retail experience and a desire to take the next step in supporting store operations and the wider team
- A strong understanding of PowerBI and store performance, with competent IT and systems skills
- The ability to delegate and help others get things done
- A curious, self-developing mindset and the ability to learn and share a wide range of product information
- Sales ability built on active listening, empathy and understanding our customers' needs
