Weâre Hiring!
Weâre looking for a full time person to join us at Kinisi Running in WÄnaka.
Kinisi Running is a little different to your average outdoor shop. Weâre here because we genuinely love running and the community that comes with it. The people we meet, the conversations we have, the runs we share and the connections that happen on our couches are a huge part of what makes us who we are.
From someone buying their first pair of running shoes to someone training for their next ultra, we care about getting the right gear on the right person and making the whole experience welcoming. But we also want KR to feel like a place people come to because they know theyâll see a friendly face, have a good chat and feel part of something bigger.
Weâre looking for someone who gets that.
Someone who loves running. Someone who enjoys talking to people and making them feel welcome. Someone who is curious, switched on and keen to learn. You donât need to know everything about running shoes, but you do need to be interested in them, interested in people and willing to get stuck in.
The role is full time and based in our WÄnaka store.
Thereâll be plenty of shoes, gear, product knowledge and customer conversations, but also all the other things that come with running a small independent business. Weâre a small team, so being reliable, proactive and happy to pitch in matters.
And yes, being able to talk running for an unreasonable amount of time is probably an advantage.
Sound like you?
Send your CV and a little bit about yourself to [email protected]. Or if youâre already in WÄnaka pop into the shop!
Tell us why you think youâd be a good fit. Weâd much rather hear from an actual person than read a perfectly polished cover letter.
