As an Outside Sales Representative — Corrugated Packaging, you will manage and grow an established territory of B2B accounts in the Barrie region and surrounding markets, selling corrugated packaging, colour pre-print packaging, point-of-purchase displays, and supply and inventory management services to manufacturers, distributors, and retailers across Ontario. You will be selling primarily to procurement and operations decision-makers at companies that ship or display product in corrugated containers.

In Year 1, this role is 80% account management and 20% new business development — your primary mandate is to stabilize and deepen the existing account base through a structured handoff from the departing representative. New business development is welcomed and encouraged from Day 1. This is a field-based outside sales role — you will be in the territory daily. The Year 1 base salary is $73,100 – $91,400 CAD, with no commission in the first 12 months.
