- Identify opportunities to grow sales and expand Mercedes Textiles’ Wildland presence.
- Deliver regular reports on plans, activities, goals and additional sales insights.
- Provide customer feedback to our product development and marketing teams.
Education & Experience
- Sales experience required; B2B or government sales a plus.
- Background in wildland firefighting or related industry experience is an asset — but not mandatory if you’re eager to learn quickly.
- Strong communication and relationship-building skills.Ability to articulate our Corporate multiple value propositions.
- Comfortable with extensive travel (up to 65% of the time).
- Self-starter with the drive to hit sales goals and grow market presence.
Attributes We’re Looking For
- Energetic, positive attitude, self motivated, and results driven.
- Professional appearance and approachable.
- Passion for connecting with people and building long-term relationships.
- Curiosity and willingness to learn mechanical and technical product knowledge.
- Positive attitude, solution-oriented mindset.
- Resilient — you don’t just knock once, you knock until the door opens.
Working Conditions
- Full-time position with a flexible schedule based around travel and customer needs.
- Regular travel across North America, including some evenings/weekends for events.
Type of position: Full-time, salaried with commission bonuses
Salary: Competitive, based on experience
