Algonquin Outfitters is actively seeking Retail Sales Associates to join our team at our Portage Store - Canoe Lake location in Algonquin Park for the summer 2026 season.

As one of our Retail Sales Associates, you aren’t just selling the products we stock, you are helping people get outside and lead active and adventurous lifestyles. Here’s a few things you will do in this job:

• Sales – front of store, answering phones, welcoming customers, cash duties.
• Merchandising and Inventory – receive shipments, stock, and help maintain our spaces.
• Customer Service – create an awesome experience and deliver excellent customer service.
• Fun – We want our team members to love what they do, so we want you to help promote a fun and inclusive work environment!

What will you bring to us?

• Previous experience in a retail environment (this is ideal but attitude and enthusiasm count for a lot!).
• Love of the outdoors and the confidence to provide advice and information to our customers.
• Desire to go above and beyond with a can-do, enthusiastic and team player attitude.
• Outstanding interpersonal skills with an engaging and approachable personality.
• Experience with POS systems is an asset.

We need someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment and can multitask & prioritize, follow through thoroughly on tasks with little supervision, and has a high standard of quality in all that they do. And it goes without saying that in the tourism retail world, we are open on weekends and holidays, so we need our Associates to be willing to work these hours.

Please include a cover letter with your application so we can get to know you!
