Assistant Team Leader – Dollarama – Edmonton, AB

Edmonton’s retail scene has a solid opening worth knowing about. Dollarama is hiring an Assistant Team Leader at their Edmonton, Alberta location — a role that blends supervisory responsibility with hands-on store operations in one of Canada’s most recognized discount retail chains.

This position is well-suited for someone who already has a foot in the retail world and is ready to take on more. As an Assistant Team Leader, you’ll support store management, keep daily operations running smoothly, and help create a positive experience for both customers and colleagues.

About the Role: Assistant Team Leader

Day-to-day, you’ll be working closely with the management team to keep the store running efficiently.

It’s a varied role that keeps you engaged throughout your shift.

You’ll also take on manager-on-duty responsibilities when needed — monitoring attendance, coordinating breaks, and contributing to staff training. Strong customer service is central to this role, as is your ability to step in and resolve issues on the spot while keeping the team focused and on track.
