  • Book first meetings with an account executive
  • Use CRM tools to track activity and progress 
  • Follow our calling and email rules, including do-not-call lists and CASL guidelines
  • Get better each week through call coaching and meeting reviews with the account executives

What you bring

  • At least one year in a client-facing, sales, customer service, or logistics role (customs, freight, or trade experience is an asset)
  • Comfort on the phone and the drive to make 60–80 calls a day
  • Fluent spoken and written English, with clear, concise writing for email and LinkedIn
  • Experience with CRM tools (HubSpot experience is an asset)
  • Coachability: you take feedback and try it on the next call

  • Uncapped, performance-based commission, paid monthly. We’ll walk you through the full plan during the interview process
  • Health and dental benefits, paid time off, RRSP program, tuition reimbursement, and professional training
  • A path to Sales Executive: SDRs who consistently meet their monthly targets are strong candidates as positions become available

Why A & A

  • Work from home. Trade the commute for time back in your day. 
  • Teamwork. A collaborative, professional team that genuinely supports each other. 
  • Modern and Tech-Focused. A workplace that values innovation, fresh ideas, and client success. 

Ready to apply? We'd love to hear from you! Include your resume and a few lines on why this role fits you.

A & A Customs Brokers is a fair and equitable employer.
