About Us:
99 Bikes opened the doors of its first tiny 170m2 shop in Milton, Brisbane in May 2007, a shop so small that we could only fit 99 bikes into the store. From that humble beginning, we have grown to become the largest bicycle retailer in Australia and now have over 600 people and over 70 retail stores in the UK, New Zealand and Australia. In the last 12 months we sold over 180,000 bikes and we have a loyal customer base of over 1.6 million Club 99 Members in Australia, part of our vision to be ‘The World’s Most Approachable Bike Shops’. Best Employer multi-award winner and global retail giant Flight Centre also bought into the business, giving us access to shared resources and enabling us to fast-track our growth.
In addition to our retail stores, we also own Advance Traders, a bicycle distributor importing popular brands such as Merida, Norco, BMC, plus many more. Together we form the Pedal Group and this integration has underpinned our growth and given our people much greater career opportunities.
For instance, someone who started as a bike builder in a shop went on to become GM of our UK operation. Another of our Melbourne high achievers wanted to move to Canberra so we opened our first store there and she is now ACT State Leader of three shops. We build our business around our people, promote from within wherever possible, and have numerous training pathways to help them achieve their potential.
We are also very committed to balancing purpose with profit. Since 2017 we have donated the value of 1 % of our annual wage bill to charities chosen by our employees, including the RSPCA, Beyond Blue and the Children’s Cancer Institute. We pay our people to ride to work to help them stay healthy and more than 75% of our employees use this initiative. We also supply free electric bikes and mechanical support to our Green Team, who are members of the public who help us promote cycling as a healthy lifestyle.
After 2 years, we are finally B-Corp certified, with three-quarters of our shops now solar-powered, the majority of our packaging is 100% recyclable and our used bike tyres are re-purposed for the ,surface of kid’s playgrounds. See more here: https://www.99bikes.com.au/b-corp
About The Role:
As part of our continuous growth, we are looking for hard-working, high achievers to start out as sales consultants and become our future specialists/business leaders. Though many of our people love to cycle, you don’t have to be a bike expert as we offer complete on-the-job training and support, plus our own 7-program Leadership Academy. More important to us is someone who is an excellent team player and can build great long-term trust and relationships with our customers. We’ll be looking to you to provide exceptional service so we can deliver on our vision of being ‘The World’s Most Approachable Bike Shops’.
In return we offer tiered financial rewards based on achieving sales and product knowledge goals. High achievers win awards at our regular events plus attend our annual overseas Global Gatherings in places like Whistler, Canada and Hakuba in Japan. If you enjoy travel, once you’ve proven yourself you can look at moving to one of our overseas stores or participating in our Peak-to-Peak Program swapping between Australia and the UK.
Our teams work closely together, competing for store awards, pitching in together to help charities, or joining events such as the cycling Epic. Every team has regular daily, weekly and monthly meetings, and team leaders have a one-on-one chat with each team member every month to share information, and help them achieve their potential. Leaders will try to accommodate your needs when rostering as much as possible. Some flexibility is available and there is plenty of weekend work if desired.
As an employer we pride ourselves on our innovative culture and encourage applications from a diverse range of candidates. You may be a high achiever looking for that next step up, or you may be working in another sales role but looking for a better employer. Regardless of circumstance this is a fantastic opportunity for those who have excelled in the past and are looking to build a career with an industry leader.
