KNEES UP is a multi-purpose physical and [soon-to-be] digital space living at the intersection of sport, performance, and lifestyle, with HQ currently situated on the famous Hackney Road in East London.

Created in 2023, our platform houses a global edit of the most exciting independent sportswear and design, a destination cafe, bar, and hosting space, and a growing programme of experiences, events, and community-led sessions.

Within our retail division, we stock boutique, fashion-influenced brands with strong aesthetic and performance appeal. We aim to support new and independent labels alongside a selection of performance footwear from global names. We sell high-quality and often premium brands, so we need to be confident in talking about products, sharing brand stories, and having good knowledge of sport--ideally running and cycling.

This is a great opportunity to join a fast-moving small business at a very exciting stage in our journey, where we're building a retail division for the future. A successful candidate will show hunger, adaptability, and a willingness to pitch in day-to-day within a small team. They'll be welcoming, happy to chat with customers in the shop and cafe, and genuinely interested in the brands we sell. A proactive approach will help this person thrive and quickly open the door to opportunities to grow with the company.
