Job Opportunity : Sales Representative

Overview

An established, growth-oriented food distribution company is seeking a Sales Representative to manage and expand an existing portfolio of customer accounts while developing new business across British Columbia.

This role is well suited to a sales professional who is organized, commercially minded, and comfortable working primarily from an office environment. The position balances relationship management with forecasting, planning, and close coordination with internal teams. The focus is on account management, preselling, and disciplined execution rather than transactional selling.

You will be responsible for selling imported food products, primarily protein categories such as beef, pork, and seafood, into foodservice distributors, specialty wholesalers, and processors. Sales are typically pallet-level or full-load volumes, requiring a relationship-driven approach, strong attention to detail, and consistent communication across internal departments.

The Organization

This organization is a well-established distributor of perishable food products with a strong reputation for reliability and consistency. The business imports premium products and supplies customers across retail, foodservice, and wholesale channels throughout Canada.

The culture is practical and fast-moving, with an emphasis on planning, accountability, teamwork, and follow-through. Success in this environment comes from clear communication, strong internal collaboration, and disciplined execution.

Some of what you will do in this role includes :

• Managing and growing an established customer portfolio with meaningful annual revenue
• Developing new business with foodservice distributors, specialty wholesalers, and processors across British Columbia
• Collaborating closely with purchasing to forecast demand, presell incoming inventory, and manage inventory risk
• Planning customer activity and maintaining visibility on opportunities, commitments, and timelines
• Building strong customer relationships through regular in-person visits and proactive communication
• Developing product knowledge across protein categories including beef, pork, and seafood
• Providing market feedback related to pricing, demand trends, and competitive activity
• Representing the organization at trade shows and occasional supplier visits
