Local Account Executive – Halton Region

We're a digital media and marketing consultancy backed by one of Canada's most recognized local media brands. We partner with businesses across Halton Region to solve real marketing problems: connecting them to the right local audiences, at the right time, through digital advertising, hyper-local targeting, and exclusive event sponsorships that no one else in the market can offer. Your job? Find those businesses. Earn their trust. Build a book that grows. Our Commitment To Diversity: We strive to be a leader in building and cultivating an employee community framed around fairness, support and opportunity. We believe that what makes us different, makes a difference. And as a team, the diversity of our backgrounds, interests and experiences is what enriches our work, and our workplaces. We welcome all, and we strive for an inclusive culture that allows individual growth and shared success. You don't wait for leads to come to you. You build your pipeline, work your network, knock on doors, and then turn those wins into long-term client relationships that pay you year after year. If that's how you're wired — this role was built for you. Most sales roles make you choose between hunting new logos and nurturing existing ones. This role rewards both. You'll have the freedom to prospect aggressively — cold outreach, referrals, community networking, market research — and the tools to grow and deepen the accounts you win. The longer you're in territory, the more you earn. That's the model. That's the goal. You're not selling ads. You're consulting on marketing strategy — diagnosing a client's business challenge and prescribing the right digital solution. That makes you invaluable to your clients, not interchangeable. Base salary + uncapped commission on every deal you close Quarterly performance bonuses tied to targets Top performers consistently earn $100K+ — and the ceiling goes higher for those who push it No commission caps. No arbitrary limits. Your effort = your income.
