Checkouts Co-Worker

Job description

Who you are

• You love challenges…you seek them to solve them (not to create them, though!)
• You have at least 6 months of customer service work experience in retail or a distribution center (Returns or Cashier experience is a plus, but not necessary)
• You have an amazing attention for detail and can effortlessly juggle multiple priorities while keeping a smile on your face
• Your customer service skills are top notch – you meet all customers with compassion and understanding, can handle long queues, and can assess a problem and deliver a solution quickly.
• Your coordination skills are top notch – you can brush your teeth, iron your clothes, feed the dog, make a cup of coffee, and just get things done in a beautiful, quick, effortless sequence (or something like that!)
• You are quite comfortable with computers and are generally technology-savvy
• You are totally cool with working in a physically demanding, fast-paced, environment (where you may have to lift heavy items that weigh up to 50 lbs. at any given time)

Your responsibilities

• Be an IKEA Ambassador by recognizing that the customer experience depends on your seamless ability to provide memorable customer service and problem solve in a fair and timely manner
• Actively listen and identify customer needs, process transactions according to IKEA returns and exchange policies, and handle cash according to IKEA policy
• Maintaining an ongoing awareness of daily and weekly service/delivery targets
• Ensuring that our stock accuracy and inventory integrity is maintained by meticulously following Returns/Exchange policies and routines.
• Staying current with your IKEA product knowledge, our in-store and online specials, any updates on returns and exchange policies, and having a good awareness of all Customer Relations action plans
• Responsible for ensuring recovered product is put away properly, that your area is stocked and presentable visually, and that all shelf labels are clear and accurate
• Stay knowledgeable on IKEA products, in-store and online specials, as well as all applicable internal policies and standards
• Assist team members with additional duties, as required
