Account Executive - Kitchener, Canada - Georgette Packaging

Description

Georgette Packaging is a carbon neutral packaging company, and one of the fastest growing companies in Canada (we were recently featured in Globe and Mail's 2021 list of top growing companies).

We're looking to add an ambitious account executive to our team to keep that momentum going.


About Georgette Packaging
We work with business owners across North America. Our clients are driven, forward-thinking, and a joy to work with.

You probably won't find any suits or boardrooms at our meetings, but you will find us ooo-ing and aah-ing over packaging samples at a local cafe.

This is the beauty of selling a good-looking, tangible product.


About the Role
This is a dynamic, hybrid role that touches all aspects of the business. It's a unique combination of sales, project management, and customer success.

Your goal will be to drive revenue through hunting for new clients, supplemented by inbound leads and an existing book of business.

You'll also act as a consultant to your existing clients, helping to grow their business through stellar packaging.


We're looking for:

• A goal setter: you're a selfmotivated contributor with a track record of setting and exceeding goals.
• A doer: You're resourceful, good at getting things done, and you love a challenge.
• An educator: You want to coach and empower your clients to achieve their packaging and marketing goals and teach them about sustainable business practices.
• Excitement: To work in a startup environment where you have the opportunity to make a big impact.
• Fearlessness: you've been described as relentless, intrepid, unafraid to do what it takes to make things happen for yourself and those around you
• Some experience: you have at least 25 years of sales experience in a setting that prioritizes hunting, outreach and building a loyal client base; sales experience in packaging, printing or the food industry is a bonus
• Additional skills and attributes needed to support you in this role: excellent written communication including a reasonable typing proficiency; solid understanding of businessrelated math; strong competence in Microsoft Excel as well as an ability to dive into newtoyou software platforms and master them

What we offer:

• Base salary + uncapped commission $50K to 60K base, with potential for approximately $30K in commission in your first year. After your client base is developed and rolling, your commission can realistically reach $60$75K in subsequent years, and the only limits are what you can put into it
• Benefits including health, dental, vision and drug care, life & disability insurance, EAP, coverage for chiropractor, physio, dietician, massage, speech, acupuncture etc
• Three weeks vacation plus holiday shutdown in December
• Flexibility to work from home
