Who We Are

Since 2010, Surmesur has been building something different — a made-to-measure clothing brand where the client experience is the product. Across 10 boutiques in Canada and the US, we craft custom garments for men and women, one relationship at a time. In 2025, we earned our B Corp certification — a public commitment to doing business with integrity. That same year, the Retail Council of Canada recognized Surmesur with an Excellence in Retailing Award for our flagship concept — a modern tailoring atelier built around circular design stations, private fitting environments, and hospitality-driven spaces that make every client visit immersive and personal. We’re growing into new markets, and we’re looking for a Boutique Manager who is genuinely passionate about people — the clients they serve and the team they lead.

What This Role Is Really About

At the center of everything is the client. Every person who walks into a Surmesur showroom should feel like the experience was built specifically for them — from the first conversation to the moment they pick up their garment. As Boutique Manager, you are the person who makes that happen, consistently, every single day. You’ll also be the face of Surmesur in your city. You’ll build relationships in the local community, create events that bring new clients through the door, and identify opportunities to grow the brand’s presence in your market. This is a role with real autonomy. You’ll set the direction for your boutique, develop your team, and drive your own results — with the full support of a head office that is invested in your success.
