Step into Retail: Sales Associate & Customer Service Roles in Vibrant BurJuman
If you thrive in fast-paced environments and love interacting with people from all walks of life, this opportunity might just be the perfect fit for you. We’re looking for enthusiastic Sales Associates—both men and women—and chatty Customer Service Representatives to join a leading supermarket right in the lively heart of BurJuman, Dubai. With competitive starting salaries, a multicultural team, and a location that buzzes with foot traffic, this is more than just a retail job—it’s a chance to be at the center of one of the city’s most dynamic communities.
About Us
Picture a supermarket where every day brings a new blend of cultures, languages, and stories—the kind of place where a busy morning can mean helping a young family find just the right product, or guiding a tourist through Dubai’s favorite kitchen staples. We’re a cornerstone of the BurJuman district, known for our warm service, fresh products, and a team that genuinely cares for one another. Whether it's celebrating a colleague’s birthday with shared sweets or a group coffee break after the lunchtime rush, our people-first approach keeps us coming back each day with a smile.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Engaging warmly with customers, answering questions or directing them to just the right aisle.
- Restocking shelves and ensuring the displays always look inviting—think: organized and easy on the eyes!
- Handling checkouts with a keen eye for accuracy and a friendly “thank you” for every customer.
- Listening to shopper concerns or requests and resolving matters with care and patience.
- Keeping the store floor tidy and safe—a little pride goes a long way.
- Pitching in as a team player during busy periods (because we all know the evening rush waits for no one).
- Occasionally assisting with promotional campaigns or special events; variety is part of the gig.
What You’ll Bring
- A positive, approachable attitude—smiles travel far here.
- Comfort communicating in English (other languages are a plus in our diverse community).
- Relevant experience in retail, hospitality, or customer service roles will help, but it isn’t a deal breaker.
- Willingness to work flexible hours, including weekends and peak times.
- Present either on a valid UAE residency visa or visit visa (immediate starters preferred).
- Respect for a multicultural environment and the ability to adapt to different customer needs.
Not sure you tick every box? We’d still love to hear from you.
