We’re hiring a full-time Senior Sales & Account Executive, Indigenous and First Nations Specialist to join our team in downtown Vancouver. In this role, you’ll work closely with Indigenous organizations, communities, and Nations across Canada to support their hiring needs. Your primary responsibility will be to connect with recruitment decision-makers and recommend tailored solutions from our suite of recruitment services and software. By building trusted relationships and providing strategic guidance, you’ll play a key role in helping Indigenous and First Nations clients attract and retain top talent. You'll be stepping into an established book of business, with the opportunity to nurture existing client relationships while driving new growth.
Some key accountabilities will be:
- Nurturing and expanding relationships within the existing book of business (accounting for approx. 60% of targets) to maximize retention and uncover new opportunities
- Engaging prospects through multitouch approaches (outbound cold calling) while meeting sales/KPI targets
- Conducting discovery calls to understand recruitment goals and suggest appropriate solutions
- Managing pricing discussions, handling objections, and guiding prospects through the sales process
- Leading qualified software demos with product specialists

To qualify, you'll have proven, successful sales experience, and have worked in some capacity in a B2B environment (e.g., software sales, SaaS, recruitment services, RPOs, etc.). Experience working with Indigenous and First Nations communities, organizations, or clients is essential, and a strong understanding of the unique opportunities in this space will set you up for success. As you step into this role, we provide the support and resources to help you quickly integrate into our team and excel.
This role should excite you if:
