Retail Assistant Store Manager - Mall of America, 6509, Bloomington, MN

About the role

At adidas we have been challenging the status quo for 70 years and we’re not done yet. We are calling all Store Managers who don’t accept what “was” or what “is,” but those who want to create what will be, and who share our desire to make a difference. We believe sport has the power to change lives. To bring this mission to life we foster a culture centered on creativity, confidence, and collaboration.

We look for leaders who are:

• Creators – If you want to build a tomorrow better than the day that came before, you’re a creator. Creators find inspiration in unlikely places, look at the world in their own unique way, are confident and have an uncanny ability to connect dots that others just don’t see.
• Innovators – You can dive into a complex problem and come out the other end with the simple solution no one else saw coming.
• Confident – Be bold and bring a fresh perspective to the table. It’s the people who see the world a little differently than the rest that create the breakthroughs that inspire us all.
• Determined – Never settle. Our workspace is about discovery. Competition exists...but only by competing with your personal best, not your team members. Discover your boundaries and push them. Discover your team’s strengths and build them.
• Collaborators – You thrive on building relationships and creating partnerships to help us be the best sports brand in the world.
• Genuine – Be real. Tell it how it is. Being a leader isn’t about winning a popularity contest. Being a leader is about inspiring others to be their very best!
