Job Description
About the Organization
Schippers Canada was established in 2004 after our umbrella company, Schippers Europe, headquartered in The Netherlands, realized the potentially large market opening up in North America.
Now, with over 12 years of experience within the Canadian market, Schippers Canada has grown into a leading supplier to livestock farmers across Canada and the US. Passion for Farming is our slogan. We offer innovative products and real on-farm solutions for better bio-security and hygiene, antibiotic-free production, tracking and tracing, animal wellbeing, and make work on the farm easier and more enjoyable.
The European office recently celebrated its 50 year jubilee, and is a well-recognized brand in Europe. With the help of over 250 employees, 10 sales offices in Europe and 40 in countries worldwide, Schippers has seen yearly growth of 20% in the last 10 years.

Our perfect candidate would be someone who is accountable, yet can stay positive while supporting, nurturing and leading by example when it comes to encouraging our sales team towards reaching their goals and targets. You are a natural team player with a commercial mindset, and an entrepreneurial spirit.
Along with your inspiring team spirit and personality, you will use our preexisting sales systems, your hunger for success, and your aptitude for problem solving to satisfy our customers’ needs.
This role will offer you the opportunity to explore the market, and develop your sales team. Schippers Canada is always introducing new and innovative products to the Canadian market, and we need you to help get the word out!
