The Opportunity

Are you an energetic sales professional with a passion for pharma, a strategic mindset, and a drive to succeed? Do you thrive in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment where your voice is heard and your impact is real? This is your opportunity to join a growing, respected leader in pharmaceutical ingredient distribution — where science meets solution and relationships fuel results.

This remote work, 12-month contract is an excellent opportunity to step into a well-established role and make an immediate, meaningful impact during a maternity leave coverage period . You’ll have the benefit of joining a stable team with existing processes, relationships, and structure already in place, while still being trusted to take ownership of key responsibilities and contribute from day one.

For someone seeking valuable experience, a strong professional environment, and the chance to broaden their skills within a respected organization, this role offers a clear mandate, meaningful work, and the opportunity to leave a lasting impression.

• Autonomy + Support: You’ll own your territory, backed by a dynamic team of product managers, logistics pros, and customer support champions.
• Strategic Impact: You’re not just selling — you’re solving real problems for leading pharmaceutical and life sciences companies.
• Growth Potential: With a wide portfolio and strong supplier relationships, the opportunity to grow accounts — and your career — is unmatched.
• Innovation + Purpose: Help customers bring critical pharmaceutical products to market faster, safer, and smarter.

Position Description

• Drive Results: Take full ownership of sales performance across Ontario and Western Canada — hitting volume, revenue, and profitability targets.
• Grow Accounts: Nurture existing relationships while expanding our footprint with new business opportunities.
• Solve + Serve: Leverage your deep product knowledge to understand customer needs and deliver tailored ingredient solutions.
• Collaborate for Success: Work hand-in-hand with internal experts — from Product Managers to Logistics — to deliver a world-class customer experience.
• Be a Trusted Advisor: Offer technical guidance and responsive support, becoming a go-to partner for your clients.
• Track + Win: Set ambitious sales targets, report on progress, and drive continuous improvement.

Experience

• Industry Experience: 5+ years in pharmaceutical or life sciences sales (preferably distribution); a strong grasp of the industry landscape.
• Relationship Mastery: Natural rapport-builder who knows how to listen, engage, and earn trust.
• Entrepreneurial Energy: Self-starter with a “get-it-done” attitude, keen to own your success.
• Team Mentality: You value collaboration but aren’t afraid to take initiative.
• Tech-Savvy: Proficient in MS Office, especially Excel; comfortable with CRM tools and virtual communication.
• Education: University degree preferred.

Qualifications

• Independent yet collaborative
• Analytical and detail-oriented
• Resourceful, strategic, and customer-obsessed
• Motivated by growth — both yours and the company’s
