Who We Are:

The Green Kiss is a Canadian Green Beauty Company committed to inspiring our communities to use the healthiest and most effective personal care products possible.

Our mission is to lovingly empower Canadians to take care of their skin, bodies and families with products that are healthy and effective both for themselves and the environment. For those new to green beauty, the principle goal is to reduce the toxic load that many may be unintentionally applying to their bodies, and in turn washing down into our ecosystems.

The business is built on creating goodness in the world and making massive positive impact and change. Our love for our individual community members, humanity, and our planet are what drives everything we do. The Green Kiss is based in Victoria BC with a brick and mortar store and HQ at Uptown Shopping Centre and is entering into its 10th year of business. We owe our longevity to our commitment to healthy beauty, to our people, and to the incredible connections we get to make in our community here in Victoria, and across Canada.

We foster the growth and popularity of truly healthy beauty and personal care products, and inspire those around us to take care of their skin and bodies with products that are that are safe, natural and effective. This is driven by our core mission which is three-fold:
To reduce the amount of toxic chemicals (also known as the chemical body burden) that people unknowingly apply to their skin
To inspire our community to fall in love with taking care of themselves with products they feel good about, and
To deliver these things to our customers while providing incredible results through our products.

Who You Are:

Customer service truly excites you and you excel at sales. Skin care and makeup have been interests of yours since you were young. You are passionate about health and wellness and you seek out any chance you get to know your community and build new relationships. You get excited to make people happy, to care for them in a way where they feel seen and heard, and you get excited to get the chance to help improve the health of their skin and the environment around them.

You get a thrill out of going above and beyond to make a customer’s day. You excel at doing this, and you go at it all while keeping the business’s best interests at heart. You live your life on a daily basis looking for ways to positively impact others. You have an entrepreneurial spirit, and excel at fostering strong relationships with others. You are outgoing and love meeting new people and making connections. You get a thrill connecting people you met to solutions or other people who will help them in their life.

You are looking for work in an environment that is filled with positivity, growth opportunities, and incentives where you are rewarded for your hard work and the results you provide the business.

You are positive, and optimistic (yet realistic too) and you tend to see the glass half full.

You are a go-getter. You like achieving things, crossing off to-do lists, and seriously going after sales targets in an orderly and determined fashion. It excites you to work for a business that “love” (as cheesy as it sounds) is its driving force.

You live and breathe being a part of a team in a growing and fast paced small business environment where every action you take makes impact.

You have an immaculate ability to pay attention to detail and to capture and store information in order to help with customer service. You are a self starter and you take initiative. You know that a good attitude is the key to life. You are punctual and enjoy creating beautiful spaces.
