Dollarama is recruiting an Assistant Store Manager for its location at 1435 King Street West in Toronto, Ontario. This retail leadership position supports the Store Manager, daily store operations, employee coordination, merchandising standards and customer service.
The opportunity may suit candidates with previous retail experience who are prepared to take on greater responsibility in a busy discount store. Employees in this position help organize daily priorities, guide store associates and keep the sales floor ready for customers throughout each shift.
Supporting Daily Store Operations
The Assistant Store Manager helps maintain consistent operations across the Dollarama location. The position involves working closely with the Store Manager to coordinate team members, monitor store conditions and respond to operational needs as they arise. This may include supporting opening or closing routines, assigning tasks and helping employees complete daily priorities.
Dollarama stores carry a broad selection of household products, snacks, cleaning supplies, stationery, seasonal items, toys and general merchandise. Because products move quickly, store leaders must balance customer service with merchandising, inventory support and workplace organization. The Assistant Store Manager helps ensure these areas remain coordinated during busy periods.
Key Areas of Responsibility
Daily responsibilities are centred on team support, store presentation and efficient retail service. The exact tasks may vary depending on customer traffic, deliveries, staffing needs and the operational priorities established by the Store Manager.
