Company: Borderline Outdoor – Ottawa

Pay: $18.00/hour + 1% commission on personal sales

About Us

Borderline Outdoor is an outdoor gear store for campers, skiers and snowboarders. We carry brands like Naturehike, Mobi Garden and Fjällräven, and we care more about finding customers the right gear than about ringing up transactions.

About the Role

This is not a cashier job. We're looking for someone who likes talking to people and knows how to sell. You'll approach customers, start conversations, find out what they're planning (a first camping trip, a recent board for the season, a gift), and match them with the right gear. If you'd rather wait behind the counter for people to come to you, this role isn't a fit.

What You'll Do
Greet customers and start conversations on the floor
Ask questions to understand their needs and recommend the right products
Share your own camping and ski/snowboard experience to help customers decide
Suggest complementary items that make their trip better
Help keep the store organized and merchandised




During quieter hours, appear in short marketing videos for our social media, such as quick gear tips, product explainers and event announcements

What We're Looking For
Outgoing, confident and comfortable approaching strangers
Proven ability to sell (retail sales experience is a robust asset)
Hands-on camping experience
Skiing and/or snowboarding experience
Fluent English
French is a bonus
Comfortable on camera, or willing to learn

What We Offer
$18.00/hour base pay
1% commission on your personal sales
30% off regular price on all in-store products (for you and your immediate family)
A team that actually uses the gear it sells

How to Apply Apply through Indeed with your resume. In a few sentences, tell us about your favourite camping trip or ski/snowboard day, and about a time you sold something you believed in.

Pay: From $18.00 per hour

Work Location: In person
