* Supporting day-to-day operations at Kit HQ (dispatching e-commerce orders and preparing event stock)
* Working at 2 - 4 events per month across the North West, North East and Midlands

Key Responsibilities:

* Accurately pick & pack customer orders using our e-commerce system and then drop them at a collection point
* Restock and maintain the kit and storage areas
* Prepare and load the RunThrough Kit van for weekly events:Support the setup, execution and breakdown of retail event spaces

What We're Looking For:

* Positive, energetic and confident communicators
* Team players who enjoy engaging with people
* A genuine passion for running and running kit

RunThrough operates across the UK and EU and is now expanding into the US. While we are based in the North West, we cover RunThrough events from Scotland to Gloucester

A full UK driving licence is essential, as you will be required to drive a company van to events.

Full training will be provided, though previous experience in retail and/or events would be advantageous.

If you're passionate about running and want to be part of a growing team at the heart of the UK running community, we'd love to hear from you.
