Keyholder X 2 | Merchant Centreplace

Merchant 1948 | Footwear with heritage, designed for modern life

We're Merchant 1948 – a New Zealand family business putting shoes on feet since 1948. With over 30 stores across Aotearoa and Melbourne, we've built a reputation for premium leather footwear, considered design, and warm, expert service.

Our stores are more than retail spaces, they're places where generations of customers come for timeless style, great craftsmanship, and genuine connection.

Love retail and ready to step up?

We're looking for a part-time Keyholder to join our team at Centreplace store. If you're confident on the shop floor and ready to take on a bit more responsibility like opening or closing the store and supporting operations when the manager's away – this is the perfect next step in your retail career.

You'll be part of a team that knows their stuff, loves what they do, and takes real pride in helping people find their perfect fit.
