Job description

Overview

EQ3 was born in opposition to trends, vowing instead to focus on timeless designs. We make furniture not fast, but to last. Our greatest hope is to have our pieces passed down like heirlooms. We pride ourselves on being innovators in our industry, and we believe that the more voices and choices we incorporate into our perspective, the better we’re able to find creative solutions for modern life. Everything we do is made in consideration of people, of the planet and of our space.

We are looking for an enthusiastic, collaborative individual to join our Retail Team as an Assistant Store Manager.

The Details

You’ll be joining our St Laurent team at 4428 Boulevard St-Laurent, Montreal, QC, in a full-time capacity.

You’ll work collaboratively with the manager to develop and implement action plans around budgeting.

You’ll help coach our sales team by educating on promotions, initiatives, products, and more.

You’ll actively engage with customers to ensure that their unique needs and inquiries are met and that they leave the store feeling positive about the experience.

You’ll put your creative skills to use and work with the team to maintain an organized, visually appealing storefront.

You’ll work behind the scenes to maintain the client database, handle bank deposits, reconcile daily balance totals, and assist with payroll as needed.

What You Bring to the Table

Minimum three (3) years of retail experience is preferred; a combination of education and experience may be considered.

Post-Secondary education in Business Administration or a relevant field. Courses in Sales and Retail Customer Service would be a bonus.

Proficiency in retail operations and systems (Point of Sale, Microsoft Office, SharePoint, and STORIS).

Strong written and verbal communication skills. You’ll need to be comfortable motivating, listening to, and coaching your team.

A creative management style that you bring to solving everyday problems in the workplace.

A high standard of quality when it comes to customer service, performance, accuracy, and sales goals.

Familiarity with industry trends, market competition, and customer needs in a retail furniture environment.

Work Life at EQ3

A company that supports work-life balance with paid time off and flexibility.
