Job description

Note To All Interested Candidates:

Character matters.

Sure, we’re looking for an all-star player who has the chops and the experience to take this role by the horns and run with it. But talent alone doesn’t cut it for us.

We’re a passionate group of hard-working people, obsessed about sales and service.

We know nothing matters more than a happy customer and that saying “that’s not my job” gets us nowhere.

We know how fun it feels to win, and love pushing ourselves towards that rush.

As a leading sports-lifestyle distribution company with over 52 years of success under our belts, we’re firing on all cylinders to take our company to the next level with a growing stable of world-class brands.

The good news? YOU could be a part of it.
