Love discovering great fashion and helping retailers find their next best-selling collection? Diverse Group is looking for a relationship-driven Sales Manager to grow a portfolio of women's apparel brands.

Based in Vancouver's Railtown district, we've been connecting premium lifestyle brands with retailers across Canada and the United States since 1980. In this role, you'll build lasting partnerships with buyers, energize our regional sales reps, and bring collections to life at trade shows.

The Position

You'll take the lead on sales and growth for your brands, developing new business while strengthening relationships with existing accounts. You'll also oversee brand operations, from samples through to shipping, with a Brand Assistant supporting day-to-day administration.

Working directly with our Managing Director, you'll plan around a seasonal market calendar and manage multiple selling seasons at once. If you enjoy combining sales instincts with creativity and organization—and helping a team succeed,we'd love to meet you.

What You Will Do

Sales and Customer Growth

• Build and maintain strong relationships with retail buyers and key accounts
• Represent the brands at trade shows across Canada and the US
• Sell directly to accounts and support reps in closing business
• Coach and motivate the sales rep team with a positive, hands-on approach
• Identify and pursue new customer opportunities
• Own the seasonal sales plan and achieve booking targets

Brand Operations

• Partner with the Brand Assistant, who handles day-to-day administration: samples, order entry, and system data
• Oversee seasonal NuORDER line sheets so reps and buyers can order without delays
• Own order flow and forecasting, from new customers and reorders to in-season buys
• Manage vendor relationships with overseas suppliers on product, timing, and pricing
• Keep sales reporting on track with current scorecards and booking numbers

What We Are Looking For

• 3+ years of fashion sales experience, ideally women's apparel, with trade show and key account experience
• A strong track record of building customer relationships and growing accounts
• Confidence presenting collections and connecting with buyers at trade shows
• A positive, proactive approach and the ability to bring energy to a rep team
• Comfort with the administrative side of brand management, including ERP and B2B platforms.
• Experience with AIMS360 and NuORDER is an asset.
• Proficiency in MS Office and Google Workspace, especially with Excel and Google Sheets. Adobe Photoshop, Acrobat, and Canva are assets.
• Strong organizational skills and attention to detail
• Excellent written and verbal communication
• The ability to work independently, prioritize, and manage multiple deadlines
• Availability to travel within Canada and the US for trade shows and customer visits, including some weekend trade shows. A valid passport and the ability to cross the US border are required.

What We Offer

• Annual salary of $60,000-$90,000
• Extended health and dental benefits
• Staff discounts on our brands and a clothing allowance
• The opportunity to shape the growth of your brands and see the impact of your work
• Day-to-day administrative support from a Brand Assistant
• Opportunities to connect with buyers and represent our brands at trade shows across Canada and the US
• A growing business with new lines and room to contribute ideas
