Account Director

DuJour is the 2.0 food broker, recognized for its passion for innovative products and its commitment to offering creative and effective solutions to its food industry partners. We believe a brand does not grow by chance: it grows thanks to the people who believe in it, the ideas that come to life, and the thousands of actions taken every day on the ground.

Therefore, we refuse to choose between strategy and execution. We combine marketing, to inspire, and sales, to turn that inspiration into concrete results. We work with inspiring brands and the major retail banners to develop their presence in the Canadian market.

Our raison d'être? To grow brands. Our vision? To become the reference partner for brands that want to leave a lasting impression on consumers and in the marketplace.

We are currently experiencing growth and are looking for the right person who will be able to directly contribute to the growth of the company and make a difference within our team!

As an Account Manager, you will be at the heart of the development and strategic management of relationships with the main banners in the food industry. This key role consists of maximizing growth opportunities, ensuring flawless customer satisfaction, and making the commercial objectives of DuJour and its partners shine.

Desired Profile

We are looking for a person who has solid experience in commercial development in the food industry, and whose network of contacts with the banners is already well established. A person whose negotiation, marketing, strategic analysis, and management skills are beyond reproach. Someone who knows how to bring together a team through natural and inspiring leadership, and who excels in the art of building strong and lasting business relationships.

An autonomous, proactive, results-oriented person, with good knowledge of the local or regional economic fabric, and above all, ready to take on the stimulating challenges of a growing company.
