Sales Manager (Bienenstock)

About the role

Bienenstock Natural Playgrounds (BNP) is entering a significant growth phase and is looking for a Sales Manager to build its sales team and capability. The company connects children with nature through natural play opportunities, and the role starts with direct, consultative sales before shifting toward hiring, coaching and leading the sales function.

Key responsibilities

• Build and lead the sales function: hire, onboard and develop a team, and set up the processes and systems (CRM, forecasting, reporting) needed for growth.
• Sell directly, especially early on: manage key client relationships and close major projects, modelling the advisor-led approach.
• Own sales strategy and performance: set targets with the VP of Sales and leadership, track pipeline health and adjust course as the team and market evolve.
• Work with Design, Operations, Marketing and Client Experience to ensure smooth project hand-offs and a consistent client experience.
• Represent the company's mission and values in every client conversation and hire.

Required profile

• Solid sales experience, ideally leading, coaching and mentoring staff; mindset is weighed as heavily as the resume.
• Consultative, relationship-first selling style, comfortable guiding clients through significant investment decisions.
• Entrepreneurial spirit, comfortable with ambiguity and building processes from scratch.
• Experience managing a sales pipeline and using CRM and sales data for forecasting and decision-making.
• Familiarity with the natural playground, recreation, education or a related sector is preferred.

What we offer

• Full-time, permanent position with significant room to grow as the sales function expands.
• Salary range of $80,000 - $110,000 base, plus a performance-based incentive tied to sales results and company profitability.
