Responsibilities

• Understand and proactively stay up to date on Apple's products, services, purchase options, and Product Zone sales processes.

• Demonstrate Apple's values of inclusion and diversity in daily activities.

Minimum Qualifications

• Availability to work a schedule based on business needs that may include nights, weekends, and public holidays in the retail store, and reliably attend work as scheduled, in line with local laws and subject to any approved accommodations.
• Proficient in written and spoken French if the role is based in Quebec — English is required for the rest of Canada (sign language supported for both languages).

Preferred Qualifications

• Demonstrate knowledge of Apple products and services.
• Personalize solutions based on customer needs, and effectively communicate them.
• Work in a fast-paced environment, often supporting multiple customers at the same time.

• Be curious and open to learning from others and helping each other grow.
• Learn about and deepen your understanding of Apple products and services, and third-party products, to enhance the customer experience.
