Cisalfa Group is recruiting approximately 180 employees for positions across its nationwide network of Cisalfa Sport and Intersport stores. The hiring supports the company's development plan to open 15 new large-format stores by 2028, creating numerous retail sector jobs.
The expansion follows recent acquisitions of Sport Voswinkel GmbH and SportScheck GmbH, plus launch of the Intersport Superstore format in Italy. Available positions are primarily fixed-term contracts with prospects for permanent conversion, offering both full-time and part-time opportunities. Roles concentrate in sales, logistics, and warehouse functions including cashiers, sales assistants, store managers, assistant store managers, and specialized sellers for mountain, tennis, cycling, and other sports departments, plus in-store visual merchandisers.
Logistics recruitment seeks warehouse staff and managers for stores and depots, plus a junior management engineer and logistics clerk for Curno headquarters. The central office also requires IT professionals, buyers, HR staff, and fashion designers.
The group currently employs approximately 5,700 people globally across over 240 stores in Italy and Germany, including roughly 160 Cisalfa Sport locations across 18 Italian regions.
