**We’re** currently looking for Department Manager to join our MEC Team**
MEC is more than a store. We’re a hub for the outdoor community, a leader in sustainability, and a place where you can be yourself. People come to us to try new things and plan new adventures - and as a** Department Manager**, you’ll be there to lead our teams to make it happen.

You’ll also have some pretty incredible coworkers who might just become future activity buddies; we asked staff what their favorite thing was about working for MEC, and the overwhelming answer was “the people.”

- Create a healthy, safe work environment for staffers and people in our store.
- You’ll be constantly learning about new products, technology and features.
- Above all, you help more people in Canada get active outside, whether that means planning for a family camping trip or a massive backcountry expedition.
**You might be who **we’re looking for if**:
- Enjoy working with a diverse, inclusive, hands-on, collaborative team.
- At least one year of experience in a similar role in a retail setting.
- Passionate about the outdoors and have a “can do” person who likes to learn new things.
- Your skill set includes personal integrity and awareness, customer focus, initiative and character, teamwork and the ability to develop yourself and others.
- Good natured, outgoing welcoming vibe and genuinely like helping people.
- Customer service is not just your skill, it’s your mindset. You’ll go out of your way to provide an excellent member experience.
- You can lift 50 lb. and walk 10,000 steps per day.
- Multi-tasking is your middle name. You’re well organized when lots is on the go.
- You have demonstrated skills in handling ambiguity, effective communication, managing conflict, and driving results in a retail setting.
- You’re curious about gear and want to learn more - we’ll provide training to build your skills.
- This position requires an intermediate level of communication in English.
**What do we offer**:
- More than just a job. We love what we do, and we offer to share our passion for outdoors.
- Competitive salary and bonus program.
- Staff discount and pro deals (amazing deals straight from vendors).
