ejó is a plant-based, refillable cleaning brand that turns housework into something closer to a spa moment. Our cleaners are vegan, scented with essential oils, and built around a refill-first system that cuts single-use plastic.
We’re a founder-led, woman-owned Canadian brand. We’re looking for someone who loves building relationships and wants to help bring ejó to more store shelves across Canada.
The Role
You’ll help grow ejó’s retail presence by helping open new accounts and supporting our existing partners. From the first conversation with a buyer to a successful launch and the next reorder, you’ll be someone retailers can count on. You’ll also support merchandising, store displays, and in-store demos, with visits to stores near you and remote support for partners elsewhere in Canada.
This is a hands-on role with plenty of room to grow. You’ll work closely with the founder, who’ll coach you along the way, and you’ll have space to share your ideas, build relationships, and see the impact of your work.
What you’ll do
Follow up on sales opportunities : Connect with potential retailers, introduce ejó, and help turn interest into opening orders.
Support retailer onboarding: Prepare vendor forms, agreements, and product listings for review.
Help launch ejó in new stores: Coordinate opening orders, delivery details, and shelf setup with the founder and retail partners.
Look after retail partners: Check in regularly, answer routine questions, follow up on reorders, and bring more complex issues to the founder.
Keep shelves looking their best: Visit local stores to merchandise products, refresh displays, and check stock levels.
Introduce shoppers to ejó: Run scheduled in-store demos,
with product training and materials provided.
Keep sales information organized: Update leads, orders, and account notes, and share feedback from stores and shoppers.
Support events: Help represent ejó at markets, trade shows, and community events as scheduled.

1-2 years of experience in customer-facing retail, sales support, merchandising, or account support
An ability to connect with people and build positive relationships
Comfort introducing products, answering questions, and following up
Strong organization and attention to detail
Initiative, curiosity, and a willingness to learn (you don’t need an established network of buyers)

Location: Remote within Canada; Vancouver, Toronto or Montreal preferred
Work arrangement: Remote, with store visits and travel as needed

Compensation: $45,000-$55,000 a year, depending on experience
Perks: Flexible scheduling around retailer needs and events, mileage reimbursement, ejó products, and the opportunity to help shape a growing brand
