Bring your IT career and talents to CDW, where you can have a greater impact, be inspired by our mission, and excited about your career and future. A Fortune 200 leader, we’re the driven professionals and technology experts companies turn to most to solve their IT challenges.

We are looking for high energy, driven self-starters to sell the most innovative and trusted technology brands in the IT industry. Join us and you will start out as a Sales Account Representative with a dedicated career progression path towards Account Manager, Senior Account Manager, and Executive Account Manager.

You’ll quickly learn that all sales opportunities here are a chance to forge a relationship, rather than complete a transaction.

• Research current and potential customers in order to understand their business to better educate them on the value of working with CDW
• Collaborate with peers and industry partners to bring the best technology solutions to your customers

In-depth Training & Development:

• You’ll become proficient with CDW’s extensive portfolio of products, services, and solutions through six weeks of instructor-led, interactive learning in the classroom, making the transition from campus to career much easier.
• Sales Academy: Four months of hands-on selling and training with one-on-one coaching while you begin to build your book of business. You will work directly with a dedicated manager to strategically craft and build consultative relationships with customers and offer customized, creative solutions to their business needs.
• Sales Residency: Ongoing training, development, and mentorship to ensure that you are up to date on the ever-changing technology trends while you continue to expand your book of business and develop relationships with your customers.

What you need to succeed:
Must-have:

• Self-motivated, ambitious, and interested in directly impacting the business landscape through technology solutions
• Passion for relationship building, creative problem-solving, and strong verbal and written communication skills
• Ability to demonstrate resiliency in adverse situations
• Natural curiosity and a desire to learn, grow, and develop your skillset
• Ability to verbally communicate and develop and nurture lasting customer relationships

Nice-to-have:

• Leadership experience on campus through community involvement, student organizations, internships, and/or work
• Fluency in written and verbal communications in both English and French

Why CDW?:

• Paid training program
• Unlimited earning potential: base salary plus uncapped commission upon completion of classroom training
• Incredible potential for advancement for motivated performers – a majority of our sales leaders at CDW started in this role
• Ongoing community involvement opportunities and our charitable match program
