Would you like to live mountain sports daily together with your team and inspire our customers? Then we are looking for you as an experienced leader for our two Zurich branches.

Bächli Bergsport is the leading Swiss specialist store for mountaineering, climbing, expeditions, hiking, ski touring, and snowshoeing. In eleven sales branches in German-speaking Switzerland, two sales branches in French-speaking Switzerland, and one branch in Ticino, we offer our demanding customers the best products and brands, expert advice, and high-quality service.

• You lead a team of around 35 employees (including apprentices) in all personnel processes. You will be supported by your deputy, department heads, and a site manager.
• As a host, customer loyalty and service are your top priorities. You profitably contribute your active mountain sports experience.
• You ensure an attractive store appearance, take on administrative and planning tasks, and independently implement exciting projects.

• You have several years of leadership and professional experience in a similar role.
• You have completed higher education after your apprenticeship, e.g., as a retail specialist or an equivalent further education.
• You actively practice mountain sports yourself (e.g., climbing, high-altitude tours, or ski touring) and know how to convincingly convey this passion.
• You are characterized by high social competence and know how to challenge and promote your team at the right moment.
• You communicate confidently in German and can also professionally interact with our customers in English.

• You develop the branches, your teams, and yourself further – and in doing so, you move a lot for the entire company in a key position.
• We offer you a dynamic environment with high-quality products, mountain sports enthusiastic colleagues, and an open corporate culture.
• As part of our family business, you experience trust, support, and appreciation.
• For your own mountain adventures, you benefit from attractive employee discounts and special conditions.
