Toronto Sales Ambassador
Local ambassadors get local green businesses featured on ethicalDeal. Each day, you’ll call (and occasionally visit) green restaurants, theaters, spas, retailers, and everything in between, negotiating unbeatable deals on behalf of our subscribers. What is green? We look for products that have received third party certifications like Fair Trade, Organic, Oceanwise or EcoLogo to name a few. We also look to how businesses engage their local community and if their services help people live a healthier lifestyle.
We hire connected, innovative, and industry-relevant sales professionals. You should be skilled at negotiation and relationship building. Experience with advertising sales, marketing and social media are beneficial to an ambassador’s success and fit within our team. Compensation is competitive.
