Great customer experiences start with great leaders. As a Retail Assistant Store Manager, you’ll help create a welcoming store where customers feel understood, team members feel supported, and goals are achieved together.

You’ll work alongside the Store Manager to lead day-to-day operations, coach the retail team, and connect customers with Eastlink products and services that fit their needs. If you enjoy developing people, solving problems, and turning great conversations into results, this could be the next step in your retail leadership career.

What You’ll Be Doing

This is a hands-on leadership role. You’ll be expected to spend much of your time on the sales floor, working alongside the team to greet and assist customers, understand their needs, recommend the right products and services, and actively contribute to individual and store sales targets. You’ll also:

• Support the Store Manager with daily operations, sales performance, merchandising, and an exceptional in-store experience
• Lead by example on the sales floor by welcoming customers, asking thoughtful questions, demonstrating products, and recommending solutions that add real value
• Coach, motivate, and develop team members through regular feedback, product knowledge, and hands-on support
• Take an active role in achieving targets while keeping the customer experience at the centre of every interaction
• Step in to resolve customer concerns with sound judgment, professionalism, and a solutions-first mindset
• Promote a safe, inclusive, accountable, and collaborative team environment

We’re looking for a customer-focused leader who brings accountability and a genuine interest in helping others succeed. You build strong relationships, communicate clearly, adapt quickly, and stay calm when priorities shift. You’re comfortable making decisions, solving problems, and working alongside your team in a fast-paced sales environment.

What You Bring

• A track record of achieving sales targets and business objectives
• Strong communication, decision-making, and problem-solving skills
• Confidence using billing systems, Microsoft Outlook, and POS systems
• Experience coaching and developing employees in a sales, retail, or customer service environment is an asset
• Telecommunications experience is an asset
