Overview
Your Opportunity at Arc'teryx
As we grow across Europe, we’re looking for people who lead with curiosity, learn by doing and want a long-term path in retail. At Arc’teryx we believe there’s always a better way and that guides how we develop our teams, and our “Leave It Better” spirit shapes the way we work.
Our Product Guides grow through hands-on learning, steady coaching and opportunities across stores, regions and teams.
We’re looking for a passionate Product Guide (all genders) to join our team at our Store in Bicester. You’re the face of our brand - bringing energy, expertise, and unforgettable experiences to every guest. You live for the outdoors, love our products, and share that passion authentically. You grow with us, lift others up, and help shape a community that thrives on connection, nature, and bold ideas.
As an Arc’teryx Product Guide, here’s what you’d be doing:
- Create Meaningful Guest Experiences: You bring energy and expertise to every interaction - sharing product knowledge, solving problems, and helping guests find gear that fits their needs and passions.
- Live the Brand, Inside and Out: As a true Arc'teryx ambassador, you represent our values both in-store and in the community. You stay curious, keep learning, and inspire others to connect with nature.
- Grow and Collaborate: You develop your skills with the support of your team, contribute to brand initiatives, and help elevate the store experience through feedback and collaboration.
- Keep the Store Running Smoothly: From processing transactions and handling guest expectations to unpacking inventory and supporting daily tasks—you help make sure everything flows.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Life in Our Stores
You’ll be part of a team that enjoys spending time outdoors together, shares product knowledge, builds strong guest relationships, and takes pride in the details. The work is hands-on, thoughtful and rooted in connection to the outdoors and community.
