Build Something From the Ground Up!

This is more than a sales job, it's an opportunity to help build a business.

Equinox Imports is the wholesale division and brand partner of House of Knives, Canada's premier specialty cutlery retailer. Backed by decades of industry experience and an outstanding portfolio of premium global brands, we're building a national wholesale business focused on independent retailers, distributors, corporate customers, promotional companies, hospitality, industrial accounts, and specialty dealers.

We're looking for an entrepreneurial Business Development & Sales Manager to help shape that future.

You'll have the freedom to build your territory, develop new markets, and establish long-term customer relationships while representing brands that customers already know and trust. If you thrive on creating opportunities, opening doors, and turning conversations into lasting partnerships, this role offers the chance to make a real impact from day one.

What You'll Do

- Build new business opportunities across Canada through strategic prospecting and relationship development.
- Grow our wholesale network by securing recent retailers.
- Develop corporate, promotional, hospitality, industrial, and institutional sales channels.
- Manage and grow key customer relationships while identifying opportunities to expand business.
- Present product lines, prepare quotations, negotiate opportunities, and close sales.
- Maintain an active sales pipeline and accurate CRM records.
- Represent Equinox Imports at trade shows, customer visits, and industry events.

Who You Are

- A proven B2B sales professional with a track record of developing new business.




- Entrepreneurial, self-motivated, and comfortable creating opportunities where none exist.
- An excellent communicator who enjoys building long-term relationships.
- Organized, accountable, and driven by results.
- Based in the Lower Mainland, BC, with the flexibility to travel as needed.

Experience in wholesale distribution, premium consumer products, outdoor equipment, kitchenware, industrial products, or promotional sales is an asset. Why Join Equinox Imports?

- Help build a national wholesale business with significant growth potential.
- Represent premium brands with strong reputations and loyal followings.
- Competitive base salary with commission.
- Flexible remote/hybrid work environment.
- Work directly with company leadership and play a key role in shaping our future.
- Your ideas, initiative, and success will have a direct impact on the business.
