ABOUT SHOES & SOX

Since 1987 Shoes & Sox has been the go-to destination for all types of kids shoes, trusted to expertly fit kids feet. Our mission is to get every baby, toddler and kid (big and little) in Australia into shoes that fit their feet as well as their adventures, their personality, and their family, perfectly.

ROLE IN A NUTSHELL

Calling all retail legends! If you know your way around a stockroom, love leading a team, and think there’s nothing better than helping a kid find their perfect pair of kicks – we want to hear from you.

• Lead from the front – inspire your team, drive results, and keep the good vibes going
• Celebrate the wins, coach through the challenges, and keep your crew feeling proud
• Keep an eagle eye on sales and store performance – no detail too small
• Create a store that wows – clean, fun, and visually on-point
• Stay smart on stock – reduce shrinkage and keep things flowing
• Champion a safe, supportive, and positive work environment
