About the role

Original posting from Cscgeneration 2 via Lever

Backcountry Outlet is a new retail division built on a simple idea: expert gear guidance paired with accessible pricing. It’s a place where seasoned skiers, first-time mountain bikers, and families alike can confidently gear up for what’s next. Our stores are powered by Gearheads who live the lifestyle—skiing, riding, hiking, and climbing—and bring that credibility to every customer interaction. This isn’t transactional retail; it’s about connecting people to the right gear, providing expert ski, snowboard, and bike services, and creating a reason to come back. 

The ideal candidate should have a passion for outdoor activities and possess excellent communication and interpersonal skills.  

We are looking for a dynamic and enthusiastic Gearhead (Sales Associate) to join our retail team. The successful candidate will be responsible for providing exceptional customer service, generating sales, and helping customers find the right outdoor gear and apparel for their needs.
