About the Role: Responsibilities, Skills, and Requirements
Introduction
Ready to kick off your career in the heart of Abu Dhabi’s buzzing retail scene? We’re on the lookout for an energetic Customer Service Representative to join our team in Al Shahama. Whether you’ve just collected your diploma or you’re looking for your very first step onto the career ladder, this role places you right at the center of customer interactions — the heartbeat of our business. If you love the idea of helping people and resolving questions with a smile (even over the phone), you might be exactly who we need.
About the Company
Picture a place where every team member matters, and customer satisfaction isn’t just a goal — it’s a daily commitment. That’s us. As one of Abu Dhabi’s growing retail companies, we’re woven into the fabric of the local community, serving a diverse base of customers who count on us for everything from everyday essentials to special purchases. Our team has a knack for embracing challenges and learning together — you’ll often find us swapping success stories in the break room or celebrating birthdays with impromptu cake. Commitment, collaboration, and a dash of fun? That’s our recipe.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Greet customers (in person or over the phone) with warmth and energy, creating a positive first impression every time.
- Listen closely to customer inquiries or concerns, then think on your feet to offer clear, friendly solutions.
- Support shoppers with product selections, service information, or navigating the latest offers — making each interaction feel personal.
- Collaborate with team members to ensure everyone gets the answers or support they need, especially during busy shifts.
- Handle returns, exchanges, and other service requests according to company policy, always keeping the experience smooth for our customers.
- Maintain a tidy, inviting workspace — a detail that doesn’t go unnoticed by our regulars.
- Be flexible with your schedule: work on weekends, public holidays, and rotating shifts as part of our retail rhythm.
What You’ll Bring
Must-Haves :
- Fluency in both Arabic and English — you’re comfortable switching between languages as situations require.
- Eagerness to work shifts, including weekends and public holidays (retail isn’t a 9-to-5 world!).
- Clear, confident communicator who believes every customer deserves respect and attention.
- A positive, can-do attitude — even when you’re juggling multiple requests.
Nice-to-Haves :
- Prior experience in retail or customer service (but it’s absolutely not required).
- Familiarity with basic computer systems or point-of-sale tools.
Not sure you tick every box? We’d still love to hear from you.
