Job description

Team Lead Wanted - with a Sales Edge!

We are currently on the hunt for an energized, smart, well-organized, and motivated operations professional to join our Ops Team as a Sales Team Lead (on-site position). This role plays a key part in managing our flyer distribution operations in downtown Ottawa and nearby suburbs - but we're not just looking for someone to manage logistics. We want someone who can drive results.

If you're ambitious, passionate about field marketing, and ready to bring a strategic sales mindset to operations, this is your moment.

Location: On-site in Ottawa

Full-time: 40 hours per week

Expected start: Sept 1

Contract Type: Fixed 6-week contract with potential for renewal or full-time hire

Salary: $1,000 CAD weekly + performance commissions up to $250/week (paid weekly)

What You'll Be Doing

As a Sales Team Lead, you'll be the link between our brand, the field team, and results. You'll manage logistics and help train Brand Ambassadors to think like sellers - ensuring that flyers aren't just handed out, but converted into customers.

Onsite Management (75-80% of your time)

• Lead, support, and motivate a team of Brand Ambassadors in the field.
• Monitor performance and coach the team with a sales-driven approach.
• Provide live, real-time support and take on-the-spot decisions to ensure operational excellence.
• Ability to strategically canvass around the city to ensure coverage at high-footfall locations.
  
  

Flyer-to-Customer Conversion Strategy

• Use data and field insights to maximize flyer conversion rates.
• Identify and test optimal distribution zones for customer impact.
• Collaborate with the Ops Team to strategically align flyer distribution with customer acquisition goals.
  
  

Training & Sales Enablement

• Train and inspire Brand Ambassadors to think like salespeople, not just distributors.
• Deliver quick, high-impact coaching sessions on how to engage passersby and spark interest.
• Reinforce key messages, behaviors, and mindset shifts to boost conversions
  
  

Planning & Analytics

• Draft weekly rosters for BAs based on performance data and location potential.
• Analyze flyer distribution data using Google Sheets and recommend improvements.
• Map and evaluate city zones for distribution efficiency and customer potential
  
  

Operations Excellence

• Maintain and manage flyer inventory, uniforms, and tools via the Oppizi platform.
• Work across locations - from our storage facility to the streets - with some remote (WFH) planning and reporting tasks
  
  

Must-Have Requirements

• Sales-oriented mindset and experience influencing or training teams toward conversion-focused goals.
• 2+ years in an Operations, Sales/Marketing or on-site field role.
• Strong command of Excel or Google Sheets (charts, pivot tables, formulas).
• Exceptional communication and leadership skills.
• Experience training or coaching a team is a big plus.
• Deep familiarity with Ottawa (2+ years living in one of the cities) and a valid driver's license with access to a car.
• A laptop for planning and reporting; a smartphone with strong battery life for real-time app use.
• Resilience, adaptability, and a proactive mindset in a fast-paced field environment
  
  

Why Join Us?

At Oppizi, we're redefining what offline marketing can do. In a world glued to screens, we help brands like UberEats cut through the noise - by turning simple flyer drops into powerful, high-converting campaigns. It's not just distribution. It's performance-driven street marketing.

We don't just want someone who can manage a field team - we want someone who can lead it toward measurable success. If you're a natural problem solver with a hint of hustle and a spark for strategy, let's talk!
