About Bells of Steel Inc.

At Bells of Steel, our mission is to make fitness and strength training approachable, affordable, and fun.

We design and manufacture high-quality strength and exercise equipment for home gym owners and fitness professionals, helping people of all experience levels achieve their goals.

Were not your typical fitness equipment brand.

Were down-to-earth, a little cheeky, and focused on making fitness more rewarding and less intimidating.

If you enjoy a fast-paced, no-BS environment and want to help shape the future of strength training, youll fit right in.

Our Core Values: A.C.T.

Adaptability Raise the Bar We challenge the status quo, learn quickly, and continuously improve.

We embrace change, seek better ways of working, and take initiative to drive results.

Customer Centricity Always Spot the Customer Everything we do is focused on helping our customers succeed.

We lead with empathy, build trust through action, and create value for both external and internal customers.

Teamwork We Win Together We operate with honesty, transparency, trust, and respect.

We collaborate openly, take shared ownership of outcomes, and succeed as a team.

Why this role exists Bells of Steel grew in Canada by becoming endemic to the strength community showing up in online conversations, at gyms, and events, until the brand was trusted by name.

We''re now scaling in Australia and the UK, while still growing in Canada and the USA, and expanding into Germany, France, and the broader EU.

We can''t get to scale on ads alone.

We need a human face in those communities someone who builds trust the same way we built it here, in parallel with paid spend, so every dollar behind ads lands on a foundation of real awareness.

This role owns that work.

This role also owns the execution of our 3-year vision to transform our showrooms in Calgary, Toronto, and Indianapolis into community hubs places where the local strength community gathers, not just shops.
