Diverse Group is a leading international distributor of fashion-forward lifestyle clothing. Founded in 1980 and headquartered in Vancouver's Railtown district, we bring premium brands to retailers across Canada and the United States. We are growing, and we are looking for a Sales Manager to lead a selection of brands.

You report to the Managing Director and work closely with a Brand Assistant who supports the day-to-day administration of the line. You work to a seasonal market calendar and manage multiple selling seasons at once. We want someone who sells at a high level and lifts the team while doing it.
