Dollarama is looking for an Assistant Store Manager to join their team in Vancouver, BC. This is a hands-on leadership role where you’ll play a key part in keeping store operations running smoothly — stepping in as Manager on Duty whenever the Store Manager is unavailable.

From overseeing daily retail operations and coaching team members to managing inventory and ensuring merchandising standards are met, this role gives you real responsibility in a fast-paced retail environment. If you have a background in team management and thrive under pressure, this could be a strong fit.

That means enforcing company policies, guiding staff, and making sure daily operations meet the standards that customers expect. You’ll be involved in recruitment and training of new employees, helping to build a capable and motivated team.

Inventory management is a core part of this role. You’ll ensure that inventory counts are completed accurately and on time to support proper restocking, and that merchandising practices are consistently followed throughout the store. Strong organizational skills and the ability to prioritize effectively are essential to succeed here.
