Working at the international headquarters

Opening one new store a week on average and offering 150 new products every week, the name Action may not come as a surprise to you. Even if you don’t have a retail background yourself, our growth guarantees a job full of variety, development and…action!

Working right where the action is

Amsterdam is where it all happens?! We think a lot more goes on in Zwaagdijk. As a tribute to our first store in Enkhuizen, this is where you will find our international headquarters – a place where a passionate team of highly diverse professionals works on the strategy behind our international retail success. We build the foundation for our continued growth, whether it is in the Netherlands, Germany, France, Austria, Belgium, Poland or elsewhere.

Why work with Action?

• Stable and super successful retail company
• Help build the continued growth of our brand
• Room for entrepreneurship and growth
• A top-notch team of international professionals

Our growth is your growth

Success opens doors. Your contribution to Action’s success – whether it be in terms of Finance, IT, Marketing or Legal – will provide you with great opportunities. Below you will find two examples:  

“I was working at Action’s Customer Service department but wasn’t applying my communications degree as much as I wanted to. I discussed this with my manager, took an additional management course and since early this year I am working as a marketing coordinator for Action.”

“An employment agency got me a position at Action’s HR Service Centre. I was only supposed to stay for a couple of months but I liked it so much that I stayed for a year and a half. I have now grown into the role of junior recruiter, which means I am actually recruiting new Action colleagues!”  

International scope

Our international headquarters (IHQ) collaborate closely with our country offices in the Netherlands, Belgium, France, Germany, Poland and Austria, our store operation teams and distribution centres. A trip to Paris or Dusseldorf for a meeting or an international project is certainly in the cards. Or you may find yourself on an international conference call. Some Business English is definitely a plus – but we are happy to offer any help you may need on that front.
