Reporting to the Store Manager, the mission of the Assistant Store Manager is to run a sharp, well-covered floor every day so the Edmonton team delivers the full Cozey experience from week one.

• →Run daily store operations alongside the Store Manager, and own opening, closing and floor coverage when they're away, so the store keeps its standards on every shift.
• →Coach Cozey Ambassadors on the floor in real time, turning each shift into practice on product knowledge, active selling and customer follow-up.
• →Build the schedule around traffic, so coverage is strongest when customers are actually in the store.
• →Track daily sales KPIs and share them with the team, so everyone knows where we stand and what to adjust before the week is over.
• →Lead clienteling: make sure customer details are captured, draft orders are followed up, and happy customers are asked for a review.
• →Keep the store clean, organized and well merchandised, including floor set changes when new products arrive.
• →Manage inventory flow, from order holds and shipments to backstock returns to the warehouse, so what's on the floor matches what's in the system.
• →Support Shopify and POS operations so checkout stays quick and accurate, and jump on transactions when the floor gets busy.

• 2 to 4 years of retail experience, including at least 1 year leading or supervising a team. Experience opening a new store is a plus.
• A coaching instinct. You'd rather show someone how to close a sale than close it for them.
• Comfort with numbers. You read daily sales, conversion and basket size, and you know what to change on the floor because of them.
• Strong organization and follow-through, with the ability to keep operations on track while staying present with customers.
• Comfort with the physical side of the role (standing, walking, light lifting). Experience with Shopify and Shopify POS is an asset.
• Availability for evenings, weekends and holidays.

• Competitive hourly wage based on experience, plus a quarterly bonus when the store hits its sales goal.
• Paid time off and group insurance.
• Endless opportunities for personal and professional growth in a fast-growing start-up.
• A role where your strategies and decisions directly influence the company's operations and growth.
• A workspace where everyone is welcomed, heard, and valued.
