Pay Rate

Description

We are expanding our network of high-performing second-hand retail and financial services stores and are seeking an experienced, strictly full-time Sales and Lending Specialist.

  • This is not an entry-level retail position.  
  • We operate a high-volume, structured environment where managing daily sales targets and KPIs is the core focus of the role.  
  • We prioritize long-term development and “slow-burn” talent, investing heavily in professionals who are looking for a permanent career home rather than a short-term stepping stone.  

What you will do

  • Drive daily retail sales to meet and exceed individual and store-wide revenue KPIs.  
  • Negotiate purchasing and lending contracts with customers, requiring high emotional intelligence and commercial awareness.  
  • Assess second-hand goods for quality, authenticity, and market value.  
  • Maintain a 100% commitment to a positive team culture, actively contributing to an environment free of negativity and focused on outcomes.  

Who we are looking for

  • To be successful in this highly rewarding but challenging environment, you must possess a specific level of commercial maturity.

The ideal candidate will have:

  • Mandatory: Minimum 2-3 years of proven experience in a structured, KPI-driven sales or financial services environment (Please note: general transactional retail or fast-food service experience will not meet the requirements for this specific role).  
  • Mandatory: Availability for 100% full-time hours. We are not currently accepting applications for casual or part-time schedules.  
  • A demonstrated ability to handle high-pressure situations, overcome objections, and remain composed during complex customer negotiations.  
  • A resilient, target-oriented mindset that thrives on hitting metrics rather than finding them stressful.  

Why join us?

  • Work within a highly profitable, actively growing network of stores with strong leadership.  
  • Benefit from a management team that removes negative influences and focuses exclusively on positive, long-term outcomes.  
  • Clear pathways for career progression as we integrate new technologies and scale our operations.  

How to Apply If you have the required KPI-driven sales experience and are seeking a long-term full-time career, apply now with a resume that clearly highlights your history of achieving sales targets.
