You Could Be Our Next
Sales Associate
Are you a cycling enthusiast with a knack for helping people?
Do you love talking about bikes and helping others find the perfect ride? Do you dream of working in a bike shop, but don’t want to commit to a full-time position?
If even a small part of you thought “maybe,” then this could be the perfect opportunity!
Rats Cycles is looking for a Bicycle Sales Associate to join our crew!
We're a small, growing business run by a cohesive, flexible, and supportive team. Our ideal candidate is passionate about the cycling community and eager to help customers find the right bike, gear, and accessories to support their riding goals.
When You'll Work
We have an immediate need for salespeople who can work Saturdays and Sundays 11am-6pm and several weekdays from 3pm-6pm. This means you can expect between 16-24 hours per week.
What You'll Do
We are seeking someone who can work independently alongside our full-time, year-round sales team to:
- Welcome and assist customers, listening to their needs to guide them toward the right bike and accessories.
- Share your knowledge of different bicycle types, components, and gear to help customers make informed decisions.
- Utilize vendor websites for special orders.
- Process sales using our point-of-sale system and help with inventory management.
- Maintain a clean and organized sales floor and assist with merchandising to create a welcoming environment.
Who Is This Position Best For?
In the past, this position best suited the lifestyle and flexibility needs of college students, empty-nesters, former or retired military members, and anyone who enjoys an active lifestyle, loves bikes, and likes getting their stuff done during the week while everyone else is at work.
You must be at least 18 and have a genuine passion for cycling. By passion we mean bicycles are an active part of your leisure, fitness, or commuting routines, and not just that thing that takes up space in the garage.
We’ve learned over the years that we can teach people how to sell, but we cannot teach them enthusiasm for what they are selling.
Also, if the idea of greeting customers you do not know and handling a basic sales transaction without supervision terrifies you, then this position is not for you.
What We Offer
We believe in supporting our team, both on and off the clock. Once you pass your probationary period and work a minimum number of hours per month, you'll receive some awesome benefits, including:
- Significant discounts on Trek bikes and products.
- Unlimited discounts on all bikes and products from our other vendors.
- Access to our workshop and tools for your personal bike projects.
How to Apply
If you're at least 18, have a love for bikes, and love to talk to people, then we'd love to hear from you!
