Assistant Store Manager

We’re Arc'teryx, and we build gear that’s obsessively engineered to perform in the wildest weather. Born in the Canadian Coast Mountains, we’re driven by design, performance, and a deep respect for the outdoors. We are expanding our Canberra team and looking for an Assistant Store Manager to help lead our team & elevate the in-store experience.

This isn’t just a store. It’s a hub for community, a centre for innovation, and a home for timeless design.

Your Role
As our Assistant Store Manager, you’ll support the Store Manager in all things leadership — helping to build, develop and inspire an epic team, create an unmatched in-store experience, and ensure day-to-day operations run smoothly and with intention. You’ll lead from the floor, with your finger on the pulse of what drives great guest experience, community connection, and commercial success.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Supporting and inspiring your team to deliver exceptional service and reach sales targets
• Driving a culture of accountability, learning, and performance
• Championing visual merchandising, product walkthroughs, and sell-through strategies
• Problem-solving and jumping in wherever needed — from stockroom to sales floor
• Fostering community and bringing the Arc’teryx experience to life for our guests
• Partnering with the Store Manager to lead hiring, onboarding, and team development
• Supporting operational excellence, including labour planning and inventory

You’ll Thrive Here If You Have:

• 2–3 years of leadership experience in a retail environment
• A growth mindset and entrepreneurial spirit
• A love for the outdoors — and the gear that gets you out there
• Strong communication skills and a collaborative leadership style
• A commercial mindset with the ability to think strategically and act decisively
• A passion for people — your team, your guests, your community

What’s In It for You?

• Competitive salary + bonus scheme
• Generous staff discount across Arc’teryx and other Amer Sports brands
• Paid parental leave top-up program
• 2 consecutive days off each week to support balance
• Epic gear to get started (yes, we kit you out!)
• Career pathways across ANZ and the globe
• A chance to build something new and be part of a like-minded outdoor-loving crew
