SEATTLE (July 21, 2014) – Nordstrom, Inc., one of the United States’ leading fashion specialty retailers, will post 30 management positions on Thursday, July 24, 2014 for its store at Rideau Centre in Ottawa.

“We’re looking to hire service-oriented Ottawans who love fashion and working with customers, and have leadership and or management experience,” said John Banks, store manager for Nordstrom Rideau Centre. “Nordstrom is a great place to build a career in retail.
