You'll really make a difference every step of the way, influencing your team, your customers, and where the future of sport is heading. Get ready for a challenging, super fast-paced experience with a steep learning curve—this programme is designed for people who are always looking to grow.

From Month 1 to 3: Mastering the foundations

Upon crossing the starting line, you will begin as a Decathlon Sport Advisor to learn about Decathlon through a deeper lens and understand the fundamentals of the Company such as our values, culture, and overall strategy.

You’ll master:

Our Culture: You will learn our company values and purpose, followed by a comprehensive introduction to your store.

Customer Excellence: Engaging with our community on the shop floor.
Operational Standards: Deliveries, stock management, and layout optimisation.

At Decathlon, we believe that the greatest leaders are doers and so the mastery of the fundamentals will be integral in your success within the project!

You will also begin your transition into Department Management by learning:

Talent & Culture: How to recruit, onboard, and motivate your own team.
Commercial Dynamism: An introduction to P&L management, economic analysis, and sales drivers.

From month 6: Your journey to becoming a Department Manager

Now that you’ve mastered the playground, you’ll begin your transition into Department Management. This stage is where you move from supporting a team to owning a business perimeter.Your responsibilities include:

Commercial Dynamism: Managing your P&L, analysing economic performance, and driving sales growth.
Strategic Planning: Crafting long-term missions for your department and mapping
Human Capital: recruiting developing your teammates into the leaders of tomorrow.
Layout Mastery: Optimising your sales floor to create an immersive, high-performance shopping experience.

From teammate to business driver—this is where your leadership comes to life. You’ll learn to balance human management with commercial results

Comprehensive Training: Receive in-depth training on our products, brand philosophy, and customer-centric approach.

Mentorship: Benefit from guidance and mentorship from experienced professionals who are passionate about sport and retail.

Networking Opportunities: Connect with local and international industry experts and fellow sports enthusiasts at workshops, events, and conferences.

Career Development: Gain valuable skills and experience that will open doors for future opportunities within our company and beyond.
