That's what Shay has to say about their role at Lighting Direct. They began as a part-time Retail Sales Consultant in Christchurch and are now the Manager of our Palmerston North branch! Shay's testament to the fact we shine a light on those that deserve it - rewarding you with career advancement opportunities.

We're currently looking for someone who loves interiors. The thought of being surrounded by the latest lighting trends and technology, lights a fire inside of you. Perhaps you're coming off the back of your own renovation, or DIY escapades, you know what it's like to be surrounded by endless options and designs, giving you the leading edge to advise our clients on their next project, whether that's a new bedside table lamp or an entire lighting solution for their home.

You are a proven leader, with over 5 years of experience leading a Retail team under your belt, which provides you with the foundation you need to build strong relationships with clients and provide expertise to your team. You thrive by nurturing others, seeing your team succeed, grow and develop is what motivates you and that energy is contagious! Spinning multiple plates doesn't faze you, as you navigate your days balancing the operational aspects of your store like inventory and stock counts, while also ensuring the customers and team are looked after.

If your friends had to describe you, they would say you are organised, full of energy, motivated and someone who gets along with everyone. All of this makes you the perfect person for the job! Don't panic though - you don't need lighting experience. We have a comprehensive training program to ensure you are up to speed in no time at all.
