Store Team Lead (Part-Time) Metrotown

Vessi is a category-defining footwear and apparel brand with roots in Vancouver, Canada. At Vessi we know that water is a magical ingredient for happiness and peace, and since 2018, we've been on a mission to welcome the water and share it with the world. That’s why we create 100% waterproof products that make experiencing the magic of water easier and more fun. We also believe in protecting water supply and replenishing fresh water for people who need it most through exciting charity partnerships.

Our community and team is out in the world spreading kindness, cold plunging, cleaning up coasts, and #makingwaves. And more recently with our expansion into omni-channel, we're enabling even more people to experience the magic of water through our products and brand experiences. We've got big plans ahead with more innovative products and expansion into the US market, and we're on the lookout for passionate and driven individuals to join us on this journey.

If you want to be part of a growing brand, and you're the type to walk through a puddle rather than around it, we'll get along just fine!
