The Alberta Co-op Grocery is currently hiring for the following position: AM Grocery Worker
The Alberta Co-op Grocery is currently hiring for the following position: AM Grocery Worker (with strong potential for transitioning into a Buyer position) ACG is a collectively managed organization. This means that every full-time employee contributes to helping run the 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 (or develop!) a passion for cooperative business and collective management. If you don’t know much about coops or collective management, we’ll teach you. Prior experience isn’t as important as being self-motivated and detail oriented with an interest in having a voice in the operation of this business and a willingness to take on tasks and jobs that aren’t typically part of the everyday grocery experience.
