Role Summary

The Sales Associate – Retail Butcher Shop Accounts is a developing sales role focused on supporting and growing Legends Haul’s relationships with independent butcher shops,



specialty meat retailers and other relevant retail accounts.

This position is specifically intended for someone coming from a retail butcher shop or dedicated retail meat department who has strong protein knowledge and meaningful experience working directly with customers.

The successful candidate will understand more than how to cut and prepare meat. They will know how to speak with customers, understand their needs, recommend appropriate products and turn strong customer service into sales.

This is an opportunity for an experienced, customer-facing retail butcher to take their industry knowledge and build a professional sales career.

The Sales Associate will receive hands‑on training in Legends Haul’s products, operations, systems, account management and business‑development practices. The role will gradually assume responsibility for an assigned customer base and territory.

The position is based from the East Vancouver office and will regularly require travel throughout the Lower Mainland to visit customers, develop relationships and pursue recent business.

This is not simply an order‑taking position. The Sales Associate will be expected to understand each customer’s business, identify opportunities, recommend appropriate products and help butcher shop customers improve their product offering and grow their sales.
