Everyone has a story. What's yours? 

Sonder is one of the UK's fastest growing bike brands. Our bikes are obsessively conceived and expertly built. We're synonymous with gravel riding, though our heritage goes far beyond, with northern hardtails, full sus bikes in the range, and E-bikes on the horizon. We are looking for a Sales Advisor to join our team and cement our reputation for award winning service. We are looking for a motivated manager, with a passion for cycling and service. We don't over complicate, we love bikes. We make bikes our customers (and staff) are going to love riding. They get you out more, further, and faster. Do you have a passion for bikes? Can you instil that passion into others?

What you'll be doing?

You'll work with the Customer Support manager to lead the Sonder Customer Support team. Your team will help our customers buy bikes, advise on the best bike to order for a certain type of riding, and take ownership of the ordering, scheduling build, delivery, and aftersales process. Customer service is at the core of the Sonder experience – as a cyclist you'll know about the process that goes in to making the decision to pull the trigger on that new bike.  We're committed to making that experience as easy and enjoyable as possible and you'll be key to making sure that we uphold our incredibly high standards of service.
