About Palette Bag

Palette Bag is a Canadian-owned and designed lifestyle brand creating fashion-forward athletic duffle bags that bring together sport, style, and everyday functionality.

Designed for fitness-minded professionals and active individuals, our bags transition seamlessly from work to the gym and beyond. With thoughtful features, quality materials, and distinctive designs, Palette Bag is redefining what an everyday athletic bag can look like.

As we expand our retail presence, we're looking for a motivated and outgoing Field Sales & Retail Partnerships Representative to introduce Palette Bag to fitness-focused retailers and lifestyle businesses across the Greater Toronto Area.

About the Role

Your primary responsibility will be to visit gyms, fitness studios, sports retailers, and other relevant retail businesses to introduce Palette Bag products and explore opportunities to have our products displayed and sold in their stores through consignment partnerships.

You'll represent the brand in person, identify suitable retail locations, present our products, and help establish mutually beneficial retail relationships.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone with a sales, marketing, retail, or business development background who enjoys working independently and wants to contribute to the growth of an emerging Canadian brand.

- Comfortable with cold outreach, in-person prospecting, and introducing products to new businesses.
- Self-motivated, proactive, and capable of working independently with minimal supervision.
- Solid relationship-building and negotiation skills.
- Interest in fitness, sports, fashion, lifestyle products, or the retail industry.
- Organized and comfortable tracking sales activities and following up with potential partners.
- Based in Toronto or the Greater Toronto Area, with the ability to travel locally for store visits.

Nice to Have:
