We are a collectively managed organization here at the Alberta Co-op Grocery. This means that every full-time employee will contribute in helping to run this business. Previous managerial experience is not necessary but you will be expected to learn and participate in the operations of our store. Being a collective manager means being held to higher expectations than you would find at a normal customer service job. Serving on committees, writing and critically thinking about store policy proposals, attending monthly staff and department meetings, and respectfully evaluating your fellow co-managers are just some of the required responsibilities of a collective manager.

It will be important to have a passion for cooperative business and collective management. We are looking for applicants that are self-motivated; detail oriented, wants to have a voice in the operation of this business, and is willing to take on tasks and jobs that aren’t typically part of the everyday grocery experience.

We look forward to meeting you!
