Community Specialist, Channel Retail – Apple – Kingston, Ontario

Apple’s presence in the retail channel goes far beyond the store shelf — and in Kingston, Ontario, they’re looking for a Community Specialist, Channel Retail to be the face of the brand at multiple partner reseller locations. This is a fixed-term role of approximately 12 months, offering a unique opportunity to represent one of the world’s most recognized technology companies in the field.

This isn’t a traditional retail role. As a Community Specialist, you’ll travel across your assigned community, visiting partner stores to deliver product demonstrations, build partner and customer relationships, and uphold Apple’s brand standards at every point of sale. If you thrive in a dynamic, independent work environment and genuinely love technology, this role brings together sales, education, and brand advocacy in a meaningful way.

About the Role: Community Specialist, Channel Retail

Working 40 hours per week on a typical Wednesday through Sunday schedule (with flexibility based on business needs), you’ll be out in the community representing Apple at various partner retail locations. You’ll drive your own route — reliable personal transportation is required — visiting stores to train staff, engage customers, and ensure the Apple in-store experience meets brand standards from merchandising to product knowledge.

You’ll serve as a true brand ambassador, influencing the Apple experience even when you’re not physically in the store. Your ability to build trusted relationships with retail partners, educate customers, and share insights back with internal Apple teams will define your success in this role. Collaboration with your leader on weekly partner visits and the ability to escalate issues quickly and effectively will also be key.

While specific salary details for this role are not listed in the posting, Apple typically provides strong total compensation packages. As a fixed-term employee, you’ll have the chance to be part of an organization with industry-leading values and a culture built on innovation, diversity, and environmental responsibility.

Responsibilities

In this field-based role, your day-to-day will centre on representing Apple across multiple retail partner locations, engaging both customers and store staff to elevate the Apple brand experience. From in-store demonstrations to partner training sessions, every visit is an opportunity to make a meaningful impact.

• Represent Apple within multiple partner stores, helping customers develop a relationship with the brand
