Join a global leader in sustainable industrial packaging, reconditioning and recycling solutions with more than 11,000 employees across 20 countries.

This is a high-impact national leadership opportunity to oversee the Canadian Reconditioning sales organization. Based from the company’s Ontario operation, the Sales Director will lead a team of five Territory Sales Managers and help shape the commercial strategy for an established Canadian business representing approximately C$150M to C$200M in revenue.

The incoming Sales Director will inherit a stable business, an experienced field sales team and a substantial existing customer base. The focus will be on strengthening sales execution, developing the team, expanding strategic accounts and driving profitable new business across Canada.

You will work closely with the General Manager of Reconditioning Canada while partnering with sourcing, manufacturing, plant operations and senior leadership. The commercial portfolio includes new and reconditioned drums, IBCs, container sourcing, recycling and reconditioning services.

This is not a desk-based leadership position. The Sales Director will remain highly engaged with customers and the field team, traveling regularly throughout Canada to support strategic accounts, coach Territory Sales Managers and identify recent growth opportunities.
