Job description

Who we are

At Rocky, we feel our best in nature and we feel our best when we nurture ourselves with nature. That's why for 25 years we've been students of this glorious Earth—formulating everyday essentials that nurture your skin, body, and hair, all crafted with care here in the Canadian Rockies.

Like nature, we're growing. With 13 stores open in Western Canada, we're expanding nationwide—starting with two new locations in Ontario this year: Upper Canada Mall in Newmarket and Sherway Gardens in Etobicoke.

Our new stores are designed to bring nature indoors. Crafted from natural materials, they guide customers through immersive sensorial experiences anchored by our signature sink— unique to each location.

Growing our culture-focused team means finding those who share the belief that we are a part in the greater ecosystem, working together to make a positive impact in our communities and for the Earth.

Are you a natural fit for the new world of Rocky?
