Retail Lead

adidas
Norfolk, VA

At adidas we have been challenging the status quo for 70 years and we’re not done yet.

We are calling all Leads who don’t accept what “was” or what “is,” but those who want to create what will be, and who share our desire to make a difference.  We believe sport has the power to change lives.  To bring this mission to life we foster a culture centered on creativity, confidence, and collaboration, and while we will never rest on our laurels, we are humbled that this has allowed us to be recognized as one of the “world’s most attractive employers.”

We also understand that the future runs on diverse and fresh perspectives.  True to this spirit, we believe in assembling talented teams from far and wide and unite by a common goal: to be the best sports company in the world.

We could list tired, old bullet points about Leads tasks but we’re confident you already know that. Here’s a bit about the kind of Leads we are looking for:
