This is a full-time or part-time retail position with a pay range of $17 to $18.50 per hour. The role involves interacting with customers daily, providing product recommendations based on detailed knowledge of Lindt's offerings, and using sales skills to promote current marketing programs. In addition to sales, Chocolate Advisors will be responsible for various operational tasks such as cash management, inventory restocking with attention to date codes and pricing, maintaining store cleanliness, and complying with quality assurance procedures. This multifaceted position allows you to develop retail expertise while being part of a globally respected brand.

Lindt values its employees' growth and ensures they feel part of a supportive and innovative community. The Chocolate Advisor position offers ongoing training opportunities to deepen product expertise and enhance sales competencies. Working within Lindt's retail team means joining a vibrant environment where your contributions are recognized, and your passion for chocolate fuels your daily work.
