Work-Force
Posted recently. We believe great workplaces are built on great people. We are looking for a Sales Consultant in Odendaalsrus, and we encourage applicants from across Free State to consider this opportunity.
What This Role Involves
The Sales Consultant vacancy forms part of how the Odendaalsrus branch keeps performing. It pairs day-to-day delivery with longer-running priorities that keep the retail jobs side of the business moving forward.
Day-to-day, the role balances focused delivery with the kind of collaboration that keeps things moving. The successful candidate is trusted to make sensible decisions inside the agreed scope, with line-management support whenever a sounding board is useful.
Stakeholders for this position include line managers, peers across the retail jobs team and trusted external partners. Building those relationships early makes the next twelve months in Odendaalsrus much easier.
Internal documentation, process notes and shared playbooks make it easier for the Sales Consultant to step into the retail jobs workflow quickly. Institutional knowledge is well-organised, so people are not reinventing the wheel from one week to the next.
Where You’ll Work
Importantly, the work environment is fast-paced and customer-facing. Expect long periods on your feet, weekend and public-holiday shifts, and the energy that comes with a busy retail floor.
Health, safety and well-being are taken seriously. Current policies and procedures are maintained, and the Odendaalsrus site adheres to the standards expected of a responsible South African employer.
A respectful, professional environment is the standard in Free State. Bullying, harassment and unfair conduct have no place here, and managers are trained to act decisively when concerns are raised.
Beyond that, the working environment is set up to give the team the focus needed for deeper work, while keeping collaboration and quick problem-solving close at hand.
Our Commitment to Transformation
Inclusion is a core part of how the team operates. This is an equal-opportunity employer, and candidates from all communities — including women, youth and persons living with disabilities — are encouraged to apply for this role in Odendaalsrus.
B-BBEE compliance is more than a scorecard here. It informs how the business invests in skills development, supplier diversity and community engagement across the country.
Practical steps back the words. Structured EE reporting, transformation initiatives and learnership programmes give real opportunities to candidates from across Free State.
Inclusive hiring extends through onboarding and into how teams operate every day. Respectful, fair conduct is expected from every team member in Odendaalsrus.

Equally, the company reinvests in its people: paid training, internal moves and the chance to take on bigger projects are all part of how careers in Odendaalsrus keep progressing.

Recognition matters here. Strong performers are noticed quickly, and many promotions across the business have started in the Odendaalsrus teams.
Based in Odendaalsrus
Odendaalsrus continues to grow as an employment hub in Free State, with close to the Bloemfontein judicial hub. This role gives you a foothold in one of its busier business communities, with access to the local services, suppliers and partners that keep the work moving.
If you are relocating, the team can share practical pointers on neighbourhoods, transport and the typical pace of life in Odendaalsrus, Free State.
Accessibility is taken seriously: where the role allows, the team works toward a balance of in-office presence and flexibility for candidates based in and around Odendaalsrus.
Many candidates already living within reach of Odendaalsrus cite the location as one of the role’s quiet wins, with shorter commutes and a real sense of being plugged into the local Free State economy.
Day in the Life
Your day usually starts before the doors open, walking the floor, checking displays and making sure tills are float-ready. As customers arrive, you switch into service mode, moving between till points, fitting rooms and the stockroom, helping shoppers find what they need and keeping a quiet eye on shrinkage. By the afternoon, you might be receiving a delivery, training a new team member or planning the next promotion, and by close of business you’re cashing up, balancing reports and getting the store ready to do it all again tomorrow.
On top of that, the rhythm rewards people who plan ahead but also pivot quickly when Free State operations throw up the unexpected.
No two days look exactly the same — and that variety is part of what keeps the role engaging for the right candidate in Odendaalsrus.
Beyond that, the Odendaalsrus office buzzes through peak hours and settles into focused, productive lulls in between, giving you time to plan and reset before the next stretch of work.
Your Role
- Keep the store, change rooms and stockroom clean and organised
- Promote loyalty programmes and capture customer information lawfully
