Account Executive - Vista Idea Sales (VIS) - Kelowna, BC

As Canada’s second-largest commercial radio broadcaster, Vista Radio Ltd operates over 70 radio stations and digital news portals across three provinces and the Northwest Territories! Each of our stations is deeply rooted in the communities we serve while retaining local voices, building strong connections, and delivering stories that matter.

CHANGE THE GAME

Vista Radio’s elite sales division is called Vista Idea Sales (VIS) - and no, we don’t do “typical” sales. We challenge it, push it, and outperform it. As Vista continues to grow across Canada, this team is at the center of it all - driving revenue across multiple markets from one place: the Okanagan region in BC.

We’re not just growing - we’re building one of the most dynamic media sales teams in the country.

We are looking for a lifer, someone who gets us and wants to grow with us long-term 😉 We’re competitive, driven, and we support each other to win. This is not an easy role - it’s a high-energy, high-reward environment where resilience, consistency, and attitude matter.

If you’re someone who thrives on challenge, isn’t afraid of hearing “no,” and knows that success in sales is built through dedication to training, and pure old-fashioned hard work - we’re ready to talk to you.

What you Bring

• Strong communication skills and confidence speaking with clients over the phone
• High level of resilience - comfortable handling rejection and staying motivated
• Self-driven, goal-oriented mindset with a strong desire to succeed in sales
• Ability to work in a structured, fast-paced environment
• Strong organizational and time management skills
• Creative thinking and problem-solving abilities
• Previous sales experience is an asset, but not required - attitude and drive matter most
