General Manager

Join to apply for the General Manager role at MEC

Base pay range

CA$75,500.00 / yr - CA$90,000.00 / yr

MEC is more than a store. We’re a hub for the outdoor community, a leader in sustainability, and a place where you can be yourself. People come to us to try new things and plan new adventures – and as a General Manager, you’ll be there to lead our teams to make it all happen.

Members (what we call customers) visit us for gear and advice on hiking, camping, climbing, cycling, watersports, snowsports and travel. You’ll manage a team of people who support our members in planning everything from dream trips to weekend getaways, and first-timers to outdoor experts.

You’ll also have some pretty incredible coworkers who might just become future activity buddies ; we asked staff what their favorite thing was about working for MEC, and the overwhelming answer was “the people.”

The role

• You actively promote the principles, culture, vision and purpose of MEC to all store staffers.
• You make sure store operations are efficient, consistent and deliver an awesome member experience.
• You manage team schedules by working closely with workforce planners and staff.
• You identify store hiring needs, manage recruitment and selection, and stick to budgets for payroll expenditures.
• You have regular check-ins with all store staff to keep communication open and to gather feedback on staff satisfaction. You take actions to foster a positive workplace culture that’s in line with MEC values.
• You make sure the store’s visual presentation is in tip-top shape, and that it helps deliver an outstanding experience for everyone who steps inside.
• You ensure creation of health and safe work environment for our staffers and members.
• Learn about new products, technology and features (including sustainability).
• You create a healthy, safe work environment for staffers and people in our store.
• You’ll be constantly learning about new products, technology and features.
• Above all, you help more people in Canada get active outside, whether that means planning for a family camping trip or a massive backcountry expedition.
