As we grow across Europe, we’re looking for people who lead with curiosity, learn by doing and want a long-term path in retail. At Arc’teryx we believe there’s always a better way and that guides how we develop our teams, and our “Leave It Better” spirit shapes the way we work.

Our Assistant Store Managers grow through hands-on learning, steady coaching and opportunities across stores, regions and teams.

We are hiring a passionate Assistant Store Manager (all genders) to lead a talented team together with the Store Manager in delivering exceptional guest experiences and building strong community connections.

Guest Experience: Lead from the floor at least 80% of your week, modeling best-in-class service and ensuring every guest interaction reflects our commitment to excellence.

Community Engagement: Collaborate with the Store Manager and Community Marketing Manager to execute impactful store events and build meaningful partnerships that grow brand presence and community involvement.

Operational Excellence: Support store operations and business priorities as assigned by the Store Manager, including scheduling, labor planning, and compliance

Life in Our Stores

You’ll be part of a team that enjoys spending time outdoors together, shares product knowledge, builds strong guest relationships, and takes pride in the details. The work is hands-on, thoughtful and rooted in connection to the outdoors and community.

Leadership Experience: 2-3 years in retail management, ideally within premium, outdoor or sports lifestyle brands, with a proven ability to lead, motivate, and develop high-performing teams.

Business Acumen: Skilled in budgeting, forecasting, expense control, and driving profitable results with an entrepreneurial mindset.

Guest-Centric Mindset: A passion for delivering exceptional guest experiences and fostering brand loyalty through service, storytelling, and community engagement.

Operational Excellence: Strong organizational, time management, and problem-solving skills, with the ability to manage inventory, scheduling, and team performance.

Language Skills: Fluency in both the local language (e.g., German) and English is essential.

Hours: Full-Time | 5 days a week

Compensation: Salaried | Base + bonus

Growth At Arc’teryx: Growth happens through practice, feedback and the support of a wider community at Arc’teryx. As we open more stores across the region, new opportunities continue to emerge for teammates who want to build their skills and take on greater responsibility.

What We Value In Our Teams: Our stores bring together teammates from a range of cultures, languages and backgrounds, and this mix shapes how we learn from one another and how we serve our guests.
