Assistant Store Manager – Dollarama – Edmonton, AB

Dollarama is looking for an Assistant Store Manager to join their team in Edmonton, Alberta. This is a hands-on leadership role that keeps daily retail operations running smoothly while supporting the Store Manager — and stepping up as Manager on Duty when needed.

You’ll also play an active role in recruiting and training new employees, upholding established merchandising practices, and acting as the go-to leader on the floor when the Store Manager is away. Strong organizational skills and sound judgment are essential in this role, as you’ll often be managing competing priorities in a dynamic retail setting.
