Department Manager

We are hiring at our Crowfoot Location

Fish and Reptile Department Manager

You have a nerd-like interest in swimmy and scaly creatures, along with great communication and mentoring skills. Working with the store management team, you’ll enjoy the responsibility of ensuring all of our aquatic and reptilian friends are cared for according to Petland’s high standards of animal care.

You’ll love talking to guests and showing them everything they’ll need to care for their family pet, helping them to become educated about the four basic needs of every animal. You’ll thrive on building a successful team in your department, as well as the rest of the store. You’ll constantly grow with the ongoing opportunities for education in areas of animal care and good business practices.

Applicants with existing pet keeping knowledge, or pet keeping experience are highly encouraged!
