Who you are:
When it comes to customer service, you're a natural. A true people-person, your passion is building relationships and creating an enjoyable shopping experience for our clientele; that’s how you derive the most satisfaction from your work.
You’re also a self-starter who thrives whether working independently or as part of a team, and you love the boutique store environment and having meaningful impact on small business.
And if you bring a positive, enthusiastic approach to everything you do, you’ll be a great fit for our small, close team of co-workers.
Who we are:
Pebble is a lifestyle store for kids, supporting local fashion brands and designers since 2008. We offer a carefully curated selection of kids’ clothing, shoes, accessories, and gift items.
Thanks to our high-quality products, and dedication to incredible customer service, we now have two Pebble locations. Our original store is located in the Arbutus Walk area of Kitsilano, and last year we opened our second location in beautiful Edgemont Village in North Vancouver.
We’re looking to for an Assistant Store Manager to join our team at our Kitsilano location.
What you’ll do:
The goal of this position is to help the store grow and succeed in whatever way you can, through excellent consultative advice, empathetic customer service, and thorough knowledge of our product line.
You will also bring strong relationship building skills, and an acute sense of how to motivate people, elevating the capabilities of the entire team. You earn the respect of the people around you with your work ethic, knowledge, and understanding, and can effectively coach and mentor your team members.
You understand that impeccable customer service is an integral element of the company’s success, and you bring that attitude to all your customer interactions, allowing you to increase sales, and grow the business even further.

- Inventory management and stock replenishment
- Utilizing Point of Sale (POS) systems for daily transactions
- Executing opening and closing procedures
Why Work Here?

2) Variety – no day is the same as the last. Time flies when you get to use all your gifts and skills to help the store succeed.
3) Customers – our clientele love our stores and our products. You’ll be dealing with people who are excited to make their purchases and trust your judgment.
We’re also seeking out someone who wants to stick around for the long-term, and become an expert on our industry, our clientele, and retail management.
Working at Pebble:
We are a small business offering a friendly and creative environment with flexible hours. As our new Assistant Manager, you’ll be working 3 to 4 days/week, with a competitive hourly rate commensurate with experience.
You’ll hit the ground running here and your impact will be felt immediately throughout the company. If you’re the right person for the job, you’ll become an integral part of our business and see your role expand as we grow together.
