**Your job**

Moving people through the wonders of sports, that is our purpose. We want to make people feel the excitement of sport, the power of community, and the sense of achievement when mastering something new.

We need to rely less on our 21 stores for our sales and more on online and omnichannel. To not only push the sale of new products but to offer circular services such as Repair, Buyback and Rental. To win not just in large destination stores on the outskirts of the city, but to be present in city centres.

Working closely with our CEO and as a member of our executive team, you will help shape Decathlon NL’s trajectory by guiding strategic planning, key strategic projects, change management, and team development as you lead our Transformation Office.
