Who are we?

We are Decathlon – one of the largest sports goods manufacturers and retailers in the world! Together, we have been making the sports world blue since 1976. We share the goal of enabling as many people as possible to engage in sports. We are a team – if you’re eager to turn your passion for sports into a profession, then you’re in the right place with us.

Is sports your passion? It’s ours too! Because everything we do revolves around sports – we want to make sports accessible to our users and we’re enthusiastic about it ourselves. Whether in our free time, as competitive or hobby athletes, in meetings, or during our lunch breaks, we live our passion and turn our hobby into our profession.

As part of Pillar #7 of our Swiss Project, Decathlon is on a journey to become a long-term, valuable sports brand recognized for its accessibility and commitment to sustainability.

In an increasingly digital world, we believe that true connection happens on the field. We prioritize direct interaction through unique, human-centered event formats designed to:

• Build awareness: Help the public discover who we are, our innovative products, and our core values.
• Engage communities: Turn visitors into loyal members and drive omnichannel traffic by creating memorable experiences.

To achieve this in German-speaking Switzerland, we need a local operational relay—someone to bridge the gap between our communication strategy and the local reality of stores, clubs, and sports partners.

Your role is to ensure a high-quality, expert presence at local events. You are the face of Decathlon, ensuring our brand is understood, desired, and trusted across the region.

You will work closely with the Event Leader (Ophélie), Local Com Leaders, and Store Leaders to move from concept to reality.

Your key objectives : 

• Coordinate and set up local events, ensuring every activation is relevant, impactful, and consistent with our brand image.
• Organize and implement local events that bring our sporting worlds to life and unite local sports communities.
• Build relationships with key regional sports events and partners to strengthen our local territorial network.
• Track participant numbers, member conversion rates, and social media reach to ensure every event delivers real impact.

• Ideally working in-store currently, available 40% per week  and must be able to work weekends (Saturdays are key for events).
• You possess excellent interpersonal skills and an entrepreneurial spirit, capable of creating strong links and bringing local projects to life.
• You have a deep understanding of the sports and economic landscape in German-speaking Switzerland.
•  You are a "hands-on" problem solver who can mobilize teams and communicate with impact.
• Swiss-German and English are mandatory. French is a plus.
• A passionate sportsperson who embodies Decathlon’s vitality and generosity.

• Step 1: AssessFirst. A behavioral assessment to look beyond your CV and ensure your motivations match our culture of autonomy.
• Step 2: Interviews. Meet with Louise (HR), Ophélie (Event Leader), and Thomas (Marketing & Com Leader).
• Step 3: Language test Validation of your German/Swiss-German and English proficiency.
• Step 4: Internal check. For internal candidates, a reference check with your current Store Leader will be conducted to ensure alignment, especially on your 40% schedule.
