Role Overview

As a Sofa Host, you bring Sofa Club to life on the showroom floor, helping create a space that feels like a destination, not just a store. In this role, you play a key role in delivering both performance and experience, ensuring every customer journey is effortless, inspiring, and memorable, especially during key trading periods.

You live our values every day: Change the Game by challenging traditional retail, The Power of Us by working as one team, Own It in every interaction, and Keep It Simple by delivering a seamless customer experience.

This is a hands-on, position where customer connection meets creativity, bringing energy, style, and impact to every moment on the floor.

What We’re Looking For

We’re not about outdated, hard-sell retail tactics. We’re building a team of style-led individuals who think differently, move differently, and sell differently.

• Bring energy, personality, and confidence to every interaction, especially during busy weekend shifts.

• Are available to work primarily weekends and peak trading days.

• Have experience in sales or retail, but more importantly, know how to create an experience people remember.

• Have an eye for style, whether that comes from fashion, interiors, or just instinctively knowing what looks right.

• Are self-driven but love being part of a tight, ambitious team.

• Aren’t afraid to roll your sleeves up and get hands-on when needed.

• Are comfortable using tech and systems to keep things running smoothly.
