Regional Sales Manager — Chef Wanted (Kitchen → Corporate)

Our Client (Global Market Leader) | Territory: Laval to Val d'Or | Bilingual FR/EN Mandatory

Are you a chef ready to hang up the apron — but not the passion?

Our client is a global leader in intelligent commercial cooking technology. We're not looking for a salesperson who's read about kitchens. We're looking for a cook — someone who has run a line, felt the pressure of service, and wants to bring that credibility into an enterprise sales career. This is a rare chance to step out of the kitchen and into corporate — while still cooking every week, in front of the chefs you'll sell to.

The Role

You'll own the North territory — Laval up through the Laurentians to Val d'Or (Route 117 corridor) — driving our client's growth across the commercial restaurant and hospitality market. You'll be in the field ~4.5 days a week: visiting kitchens, building relationships, and running Live Cooking Demonstrations where you cook on our equipment and let the results speak for themselves.

What you'll do

Spread our client's message through hands-on Live Cooking events (~1 demo day/week) Visit restaurant and foodservice operators daily to develop new business Partner with dealers, consultants, and designers to grow market share Run a consultative, needs-based sales process — listen, solve, close Manage your own schedule and pipeline (CRM/Salesforce)

Who You Are

Culinary background is mandatory — this is non-negotiable. You are a cook, chef, chef de cuisine, or kitchen operations leader with real hands-on credibility. If you can walk up to a combi oven and cook a dish that impresses another chef, you're who we want. Hands-on culinary experience — you can run a Live Cooking Demonstration, not just talk about food Ready to transition out of the kitchen into a corporate/enterprise career Energetic and positive — you bring drive and good energy into every room Bilingual (French / English) is mandatory — non-negotiable for this role Comfortable with a road-based field role and independent schedule Valid driver's license; able to travel across the territory

Prior sales experience is a plus but not required — we'll teach you the sales. We can't teach you the kitchen.

What's In It For You
