Retail Assistant Manager/Admin

Are you an enthusiastic and dedicated retail professional ready to take the next step in your career? We are currently seeking a dynamic Retail Store Assistant Manager for an exciting opportunity within the rapidly growing cannabis industry. Located in the vibrant region of Paris, Ontario, this full-time role is perfect for a highly motivated individual with a passion for exceptional customer service and specialized product knowledge. As a Retail Store Assistant Manager, you will play a crucial role in the daily operations of a boutique cannabis dispensary. You will work closely with a small, close-knit team and report directly to the store owner, gaining invaluable mentorship and hands-on business experience.

In the cannabis industry, education and customer experience are paramount. This is why our client offers an outstanding onboarding program featuring four weeks of extensive product knowledge training. This comprehensive training ensures that the successful Retail Store Assistant Manager is fully equipped to guide customers, answer complex questions, and drive overall sales performance. Working in this specialized sales category means you will be at the forefront of a booming market, helping to break stigmas while providing a safe, welcoming, and highly informative environment for every consumer who walks through the doors.

As a first-line supervisor of retail sales workers, your day-to-day as a Retail Store Assistant Manager will involve a diverse mix of leadership, administrative, and customer-facing tasks. You will be responsible for overseeing point-of-sale (POS) systems, tracking daily sales metrics, and ensuring accurate inventory management using Google Sheets or Microsoft Excel. Because this is a highly regulated sector, meticulous attention to detail is required. You will ensure that all sales transactions comply with provincial regulations, which is why a willingness to obtain your CanSell certification is an absolute necessity for this position. The ideal candidate will blend strong analytical skills with a warm, approachable demeanor, driving the store’s success from the sales floor to the back office.
