Full Job Description
Business Development Manager - Western Canada

(Edmonton or Calgary)

About the Role

We're looking for a driven, relationship-focused sales professional to manage and grow our Western Canada territory.

This isn't a typical product sales role. We work closely with customers to design and deliver custom foam solutions for a wide range of applications-from packaging and protection to industrial and specialty uses. Every project is unique, making this a highly consultative, problem-solving sales role.

If you enjoy building relationships, developing new business, and selling tailored solutions rather than off-the-shelf products, this role offers strong autonomy and growth potential.

What You'll Do
  • Manage and grow an established customer base across Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba
  • Identify and develop new business opportunities across multiple industries
  • Work directly with customers to understand requirements and deliver custom-engineered solutions
  • Build long-term relationships and increase share of wallet within existing accounts
  • Collaborate with production, technical, and inside sales teams to bring projects to life
  • Maintain an active pipeline and track opportunities using CRM (Salesforce)
  • Monitor market trends, competitors, and industry developments
  • Develop and execute a territory growth plan

What Makes this Role Different
  • High-autonomy, field-based role with ownership of your territory
  • Strong mix of account management + new business development
  • Sell custom solutions-not commodity products
  • Opportunity to work across a diverse set of industries and applications
  • Direct impact on growth and market expansion

What You Bring
  • 3+ years of B2B outside sales experience (solution-based or consultative sales preferred)
  • Proven ability to develop new business and grow existing accounts
  • Experience selling into manufacturing, packaging, industrial, or related markets (asset, not required)
  • Strong communication and presentation skills
  • Comfortable working with technical information, drawings, or specifications
  • Experience using CRM systems (Salesforce or similar)
  • Self-motivated with the ability to manage a territory independently

Compensation
  • Base Salary + Commission
  • Car allowance + Gas
