CA-Genius – Apple – Ottawa, ON

Ottawa’s Apple Store at Bayshore Shopping Centre is looking for a skilled and customer-focused Genius to join the team. This role sits at the intersection of technical mastery and genuine human connection — you’ll be the person customers turn to when they need real help with their Apple hardware and software.

More than a repair technician, a Genius at Apple is a mentor, a problem-solver, and a trusted advisor. You’ll handle everything from diagnosing device issues to educating customers on the full range of Apple products and services, all while setting the standard for what exceptional service looks like.

About the Role: CA-Genius

In this position, you’ll be responsible for troubleshooting, diagnosing, and repairing Apple hardware and software for customers who visit the Genius Bar. You’ll combine deep technical knowledge with strong interpersonal skills to guide customers through their repair options, recommend relevant products and services, and make sure they leave feeling confident and supported.

Beyond individual customer interactions, you’ll play an active role in elevating your team. As a mentor and resource for fellow Genius Bar members, you’ll share knowledge, model best practices, and help build a culture of inclusion and excellence across the store. You’ll also work closely with team leaders to flag recurring issues and relay feedback to Apple.

Benefits and Salary

Apple offers a competitive pay range for this role. For postings in Ontario, qualified candidates can expect a hiring rate up to the midpoint of the pay range, with candidates who bring significant experience and skills potentially eligible for pay up to the range maximum. Apple is known for offering a strong total compensation package that reflects its commitment to attracting top talent.

Responsibilities

The day-to-day of a Genius at Apple is dynamic and varied. You’ll move between hands-on hardware and software repairs, customer consultations, and team mentorship — all within the fast-paced environment of a busy Apple retail location. Every interaction is an opportunity to deliver the kind of service Apple is known for.

• Troubleshoot and repair Apple hardware and software issues, resolving service concerns efficiently and thoroughly
• Support customers experiencing Apple product or software problems with care, empathy, and all available tools and resources
• Educate customers on repair options, Apple products, and relevant services, identifying opportunities to enhance their ownership experience
