POP Marquee | Placemaking, Special Events, Municipal Activations

POP Marquee is a growing Canadian company specializing in large-scale illuminated signs, photo opportunities and temporary placemaking installations for municipalities, Business Improvement Areas, festivals, shopping centres, tourism organizations and special events.

We are expanding our presence in Ottawa, Gatineau and the rest of Quebec and are looking for a fully bilingual (French/English) Sales Representative who understands the Quebec market and can help us build long-term relationships throughout the region.

The Opportunity

This is not simply an inside-sales position.

We are looking for someone who knows how business is done in Quebec, is comfortable developing new relationships, and ideally already has contacts within the placemaking, municipal, festival, tourism, event, experiential marketing or related industries.

The successful candidate will help develop the Ottawa–Gatineau market and lead our business-development efforts into Quebec.

What You’ll Do

- Develop new business throughout Ottawa, Gatineau and Quebec
- Prospect and build relationships with municipalities, downtown associations, BIAs, tourism organizations, festivals, shopping centres, event producers and related organizations
- Introduce POP Marquee’s illuminated signs, icons, photo opportunities and placemaking installations to prospective clients
- Conduct sales calls, email outreach, presentations and in-person meetings
- Identify upcoming festivals, public-space activations, seasonal programs and municipal opportunities
- Develop relationships with Quebec decision-makers in French
- Prepare opportunities for estimates and proposals
- Maintain accurate prospect and customer information in our CRM
- Work directly with the founder as we develop POP Marquee’s Quebec market

Who We’re Looking For

Fluency in professional French and English are required.

You should also have:

- Proven B2B sales or business-development experience
- Previous sales experience in Quebec




- Experience or established relationships within placemaking, municipalities, festivals, special events, tourism, experiential marketing, event rentals, downtown development or a closely related industry
- Strong prospecting and relationship-building skills
- Confidence making outbound calls and approaching recent organizations
- Ability to work independently and develop a territory
- Professional communication and presentation skills
- Good understanding of Quebec business culture and the ability to communicate naturally with francophone clients

Existing relationships with municipalities, festivals, tourism organizations, event producers or other potential POP Marquee clients would be a significant asset.

Compensation

This position offers a combination of base compensation plus commission, providing income stability along with meaningful upside for developing new business.

Specific compensation will be discussed based on experience, industry relationships and the candidate’s ability to develop the Quebec market.
