• Stay abreast of industry trends, new technologies, and competitor activities to ensure training content remains relevant and impactful.

Canadian Market Requirements

• Based in Vancouver, BC, with the ability and willingness to travel across Canadian regional retail markets, including overnight stays, as program needs require.
• Dedicated in-store time each month to coach Sales Specialists in the selling environment and drive measurable performance improvement.
• Regionalize the training approach — adapt global content to Canadian retail environments, retailer expectations and regional market differences.
• Support bilingual (English/French) program needs in partnership with Quebec-based field leadership.

Performance Measures

• Accurate and complete training and onboarding reporting submitted following each session.
• Consistent monthly in-store field observation and coaching hours completed.
• Demonstrated improvement in Sales Specialist product knowledge, sell-through and customer experience scores.

• Experience training within major Canadian retail banners, ideally including Best Buy, Walmart and Staples.
• Valid passport and the ability to travel to the United States for training, onboarding and program meetings.
• Proven ability to deliver both in-person and virtual training to distributed, part-time field teams.
• Strong facilitation, presentation and content-development skills; advanced PowerPoint and Google Slides capability.
• Comfortable working from data — sales performance, survey results and field observations — to shape training priorities.

AI Disclosure

Use of Artificial Intelligence by Recruiters and Hiring Managers

• At Influence Retail Services Inc. (2025) and Influence Marketing Services Inc., people are at the center of our recruitment process. While we may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools for limited administrative purposes (such as writing creative outreach messages, summarizing interview notes or transcribing reference checks), AI is never the decision maker.
• Resumes and candidate information are personally reviewed by our recruiters and/or hiring manager, and all hiring decisions are made by people who bring judgment, care, and expertise to each match. If any recruitment process involves a greater degree of AI use during an interview or assessment, we will communicate that to short-listed candidates, so they are aware in advance.
• Our commitment is to use technology responsibly, while ensuring fairness, transparency, and respect at every stage of the process.

Use of Artificial Intelligence – by Candidates

• We recognize that candidates may choose to use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support their job search, for example, to refine their writing style or gather research. While this can be appropriate, the information you provide in your resume, screening questions, and interviews must always be truthful and accurately reflect your own experience, knowledge, and competencies.
• AI should never be used to create or exaggerate credentials. Our goal is to understand the real you – your skills, your story, and your potential – so that we can make the best possible match between you and our company.
