Community Specialist, Channel Retail – Apple – Thunder Bay, Ontario

Thunder Bay is getting a dedicated Apple brand ambassador — and it could be you. Apple is hiring a Community Specialist, Channel Retail to represent the brand across multiple partner reseller locations throughout the community. This is a field-based role built for someone who thrives on human connection, loves Apple technology, and wants to shape how customers and partners experience the brand every single day.

Rather than working from a single store, you’ll be out in the field — visiting partner locations, delivering demos, building relationships, and making sure every Apple display and interaction reflects the standards the brand is known for. It’s a role that blends direct sales, product education, and merchandising into one dynamic position on the road.

About the Role: Community Specialist, Channel Retail

As a Community Specialist, your territory spans multiple partner reseller stores in and around Thunder Bay. You’ll travel between locations — on a schedule that typically runs Wednesday through Sunday — acting as the face of Apple at each stop. From ensuring Apple fixtures and product displays meet brand standards to coaching partner staff on the latest promotions, your impact extends well beyond the time you spend on-site.

This role requires 40 hours per week with occasional overtime and demands flexibility as the schedule can shift based on business needs. You’ll need to provide your own reliable transportation to navigate your community. Collaboration with your leader on weekly partner visit plans keeps your efforts aligned with broader team goals, and the feedback you gather from the field helps shape strategy across Apple teams.

Requirements / Skills

Apple is looking for someone who brings genuine enthusiasm for technology and people in equal measure.
