Store Support Employee French

Full time, 38 hours a week

As a Store Support Employee, you are the point of contact for your colleagues in our stores. You can help your colleagues quickly and efficiently when necessary. Are you ready to take action?

Your daily actions

The Service Desk is made up of a great team of various nationalities. Together with your colleagues, you will answer all of the questions from the stores in the different countries where we operate. The questions are very diverse and involve, for example, ICT, Human Resources, property or financial affairs. You will always find the right department to solve these problems quickly, efficiently and in a service-oriented manner. Helping others gives you energy and you will enjoy working with colleagues from different departments. In this position, you will communicate with the stores as well as departments at our international headquarters. If a problem cannot be solved immediately, you will look for a solution. You can answer questions by phone and via our ticket system. You then make sure that all questions are entered in our database.
As a Store Support Employee, you will be assigned to a team during opening hours. Our opening hours are Monday to Saturday from 7.30 a.m. to 9.30 p.m. The Sunday emergency service (working from home) is distributed fairly among our employees.

Meet your new team

The 2,600 Action stores are located in 12 countries, all with the same good customer experience. This is only possible if the stores all work in the same way and can perform their daily work in the best possible conditions: making customers happy, caring for employees, but also working efficiently. Central Store Operations guarantees this standardisation and is therefore an important driver for Action's rapid growth. We provide guidelines and monitor the progress of all stores in Europe. We are the point of contact for the stores in the event of problems related to the daily work. And we make sure that these are solved as soon as possible. You will work in a highly international environment at Action. The language of our department is English, but our store helpdesk also speaks French, German, Polish and many more. And it's interesting that many of your colleagues also started off in an Action store. Here, you will work at the very heart of store operations! And as Action continues to grow, we are constantly offering you new challenges to make the work of our colleagues in the stores a little better every day.

Our contribution to society

If you only know Action from the stores, a new world will open up for you when you join us. Behind the scenes, we work hard to make a positive contribution to society and the environment. Did you know, for example, that we sponsor more than 1737 children worldwide who are growing up in an SOS Children's Village? That our team (consisting of 124 nationalities) reflects the diversity of our customers? That 70% of our purchased wood products and 86% of the cotton is sustainably sourced?
