Compensation & Benefits
- Base salary of $70,000, with flexibility upward based on experience
- 2% commission on sales
- Mileage reimbursement for use of a personal vehicle
- Company-provided mobile phone and laptop
- Per diem for accommodation and meals during business travel
- Two weeks of vacation after one year of service
- Additional paid week off between Christmas and New Year’s
- Annual sick leave allowance of $1,200
Profile & Requirements
- Minimum of 3 years of field sales experience in pharmaceutical, natural health, or OTC products
- Strong knowledge of pharmacies within Ottawa
- Excellent communication and relationship-building skills
- Dynamic, autonomous, and persuasive sales profile
