Territory Sales Manager – Eastern Canada

Remote (Must be based out of Ottawa or Eastern Ontario)

About Us 

At Open Farm we are transforming the way people feed their pets, with a focus on producing premium, healthy food and treats, all ethically sourced from farm-to-bowl. Headquartered in Toronto and with team members across the US, Open Farm is one of the fastest growing CPG companies in North America. We believe that the best foods are made with consciously sourced, top-quality ingredients from farmers and fisheries who believe in doing good for all animals and the environment.  

Role Description 

Reporting to the Regional Director of Sales, a Territory Sales Manager plays a key role in driving sales performance, accelerating market expansion, and building brand presence in both existing and new territories. A Territory Sales Manager is responsible for executing strategies that grow Open Farm’s retail footprint, strengthening relationships with key accounts and retailers, and ensuring our products are well represented and top-of-mind for consumers in the retail space. 

We are looking for a Bilingual (English and French) outside sales rep based in Ottawa or Eastern Ontario. The territory will include Ottawa, Eastern Ontario, Quebec, and the Maritimes. 

A Territory Sales Manager directly contributes to the company’s overall growth by identifying new business opportunities, optimizing sales channels, and executing sales and retail initiatives that enhance visibility and market share across the region. A Territory Sales Manager also acts as a brand ambassador — inspiring retailers, distributors, and customers alike to champion Open Farm’s mission and products. 

Required Experience and Skills 

  • 3+ years of experience in sales or territory management; experience in the pet industry is an asset.
  • Bilingual (English and French) required.
  • Demonstrated ability to drive growth, exceed targets, and expand market presence.
  • A track record of developing and executing effective sales strategies that deliver measurable results and strengthen brand impact.
  • Exceptional interpersonal and communication skills that foster trust, collaboration, and long-term partnerships with customers and colleagues alike.
  • A self-starter who thrives in a fast-paced, dynamic environment and is motivated to make a meaningful impact every day.
  • Outstanding time management and prioritization skills, with the ability to balance multiple initiatives and deliver consistently high-quality results.
  • A team player who values connection, feedback, and shared success while taking ownership of individual goals.
  • A proactive, positive attitude paired with a genuine passion for pets, the planet, and Open Farm’s purpose-driven mission.
  • Competence in Excel, PowerPoint, and sales reporting systems to support data-driven territory management.
  • Previous experience in the pet industry and/or in a Territory Sales Manager role is considered a strong asset. 

Territory and Travel Requirements 

This role demands a high level of flexibility, mobility, and commitment to in-person relationship building. The Territory Sales Manager works primarily in the field, requiring regular travel and a proactive, hands-on approach to driving results through in-person retailer communication and store visits. 

The Territory Sales Manager (TSM) position requires flexible work arrangements, including occasional evenings and weekends, with a minimum of 20 in-person retail store visits per week and up to 60% overnight travel within the assigned territory. The territory includes Ottawa, Eastern Ontario, Quebec, and the Maritimes. 

A TSM is required to hold a valid driver’s license; reliable transportation and the ability to travel extensively are essential for success in this role. 

A TSM is typically a remote position, and employees must reside within the assigned territory to effectively manage regional relationships and opportunities. Territories may be reassigned at the discretion of the Company.

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
