Love fashion? Ready to see what happens behind the scenes? We’re looking for someone to help bring some of the industry’s most exciting brands to the Canadian market.

This is a great opportunity for someone in the early stages of their career who wants to go beyond the sales floor and develop their knowledge of how the industry works from the other side. Ideally you have a strong understanding of retail, a genuine interest in fashion and an eagerness to build a career on the wholesale side of the industry.

You’ll work across an exciting mix of footwear brands, connecting with buyers, supporting sales initiatives and helping to bring our showroom to life – everything that goes into growing a brand in the Canadian market.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Support the sales process from sample and presentation preparation to order entry and follow-up.
• Assist in developing new business opportunities and identifying prospective retail accounts.
• Help manage existing accounts, monitoring shipping and sales performance using excel-based reporting.
• Prepare for and participate in sales meetings, both in person and virtually.
• Work closely with the team on merchandising, showroom maintenance and organization and day to day account needs.

What We’re Looking For:

• Previous retail experience is strongly preferred. You understand customer behaviour and what makes a product sell.
• A genuine interest in fashion, footwear and the strengths and challenges that come with it.
• A natural curiosity about the business side of fashion and an interest in developing your sales skills.
• Strong communication and inter-personal skills. You’re comfortable talking to people, presenting ideas and most of all, building relationships.
• Organized, detail oriented and able to juggle multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.
• Previous wholesale experience is an asset, but we’re open to someone with the right retail foundation and mindset.
• A valid driver’s licence and vehicle is also preferred, but not mandatory. There are times we need to be able to get on the road and be mobile at a moment’s notice.

If building an exciting career in fashion is something you’re interested in, we’d love to hear from you!
