THE ROLE   Imagine the excitement and ability to show off your incredible skills in a deployed environment (overseas) for six months supervising a retail store for the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) and partner nations from across the world! As a deployed Retail Supervisor, you are not just providing retail services, but enhancing the morale and welfare of all the troops deployed.
The Retail Supervisor is part of an enthusiastic team of adventurous individuals who enjoy meaningful employment and contributing in a team-based environment. Excited by the opportunity to deploy as a civilian among CAF personnel abroad, you are a team player with a positive attitude in a fast-paced setting. You are able to adapt to new challenges in an ever-changing dynamic environment.
The Retail Supervisor is responsible for leading and managing the retail team and operations to great success! You will enforce the health, hygiene, safety, and security standards and programs. Other responsibilities include preparing regular cash audits, periodic reconciliation of deposits, authorizing refunds, voids, and returns, and holding keys, safe combinations, and access codes. You will ensure the distribution of merchandise to outlets and ensure adequate stock levels are maintained.

You are responsible for an effective monthly inventory of the store and managing contracts and must have an understanding of the store’s financial statements, inventory management, and supply chain. You ensure the implementation and maintenance of loss prevention controls.
