What are the responsibilities and job description for the Field Sales Associate position at Jax Athletics?
About Jax Athletics:
Jax is an emerging force in baseball and softball gear, built for those who play with passion and demand performance. We’re a small family company and we’re building a brand that speaks directly to players who want gear that combines innovation, durability, and style.
The Role:
We’re launching a seasonal retail store at LakePoint — a destination for baseball players, families, and fans. We’re seeking energetic, personable team members who live and breathe baseball, love engaging with people, and thrive in a fast-paced retail environment.
What You’ll Do:
Customer Engagement & Sales
- Greet customers with energy, build rapport, and help them find what they’re looking for.
- Share product knowledge confidently — elevate their experience beyond a “transaction.”
- Support sales goals through active selling, cross-selling, and product storytelling.
- Operate the point-of-sale system quickly and accurately.
Merch & Visual Standards
- Keep the space clean, intentional, and eye-catching.
- Restock merchandise and maintain displays throughout events.
- Assist with inventory counts and stock organization.
Event-Ready Support
- Be ready to work high-volume weekends, special events, and peak times from April through November.
- Adapt to outdoor/venue conditions (move displays, organize stock, assist with setup/teardown).
Who You Are:
Passionate About Baseball
- You “get” the culture of the game — you follow it, you talk about it, you want to help others celebrate it.
Customer-First
- Friendly, outgoing, and comfortable engaging a crowd — from families to competitive players.
- Comfortable handling transactions and answering questions confidently.
Reliable & Flexible
- Weekend and event schedule availability is a must.
- You can handle busy shifts with a positive, team-oriented mindset.
Qualifications:
- Prior customer service or retail experience (preferred, but not required).
- Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
- Knowledge of baseball/softball culture, gear, and terminology.
- Ability to stand for long shifts and lift merchandise/stock up to 30 lbs as needed.
- Willing to roll up your sleeves and get things done—no task is “beneath you”.
Why This Role?
This isn’t just a retail job. It’s a front-row seat to one of the most competitive baseball environments in the country. At LakePoint, you’ll interact with elite travel teams, serious baseball families, and passionate players every weekend. You’ll build real sales skills, learn how a fast-growing brand operates on the ground, and play a key role in creating memorable experiences for athletes and families.
We’re looking for people who want more than clock-in, clock-out. If you love baseball, enjoy high-energy environments, and want to develop communication and sales skills that translate far beyond retail, this is your spot.
Application Process:
We are hiring immediately for the 2026 season (April–November) and looking for team members who can start ASAP.
