Part Time Seasonal Sales Associate - HOKA Covent Garden in London

About HOKA

Our goal is to inspire people to move, and to drive forward with purpose and passion. We bring a bold and unexpected approach to the products we create, crafting innovative solutions for athletes of all types. However, people find joy in movement, HOKA is here to empower and support them – to help them take flight. At HOKA, we’re committed to creating a more equitable future for both our employees and the customers we serve. This means that we create and maintain hiring practices that ensure a diverse and representative workforce. Because by celebrating a culture of inclusion — one where employees are able to freely contribute equally — we are doing more than hiring a team of people to sell shoes. We’re bringing together people who are passionate about telling stories, making connections, creating experiences, and building lasting relationships.
