- Travel regionally a few days each month to maintain visibility and support across your territory
You're a natural relationship builder with a strong sense of ownership and a passion for helping customers succeed.
- Experience in Sales or Account Management, ideally in trade supplies, residential building products, or a technical environment - but if not, we can teach you
- A growth mindset and learning agility - you're curious, adaptable, and quick to pick up new concepts

- Ability to work independently, manage your own schedule, and stay self-motivated
- A full driver's licence and willingness to travel regionally
- You'll receive full product and sales training - we'll set you up for success
