Job Description

Are you a chef or kitchen manager looking to hang up the apron but stay in the industry you love? J.R. Mahoney Limited is seeking a Commercial Kitchen Sales Representative who understands that the right equipment is the backbone of a successful restaurant. We don’t just sell ovens and refrigerators; we provide the tools that allow our clients to express their culinary vision. If you have the “grit” of the kitchen and the “gift of gab” for sales, we want you on our team.

In this role, you are a consultant first and a salesperson second. You’ll be visiting kitchens across the region, identifying bottlenecks in their workflow, and recommending high-performance equipment solutions. Because you’ve worked in the industry, you know the difference between a “want” and a “need” when it comes to a commercial line. We are looking for someone who can walk into a busy kitchen, establish immediate rapport with the staff, and provide professional, data-backed quotes that help their business grow.

Joining J.R. Mahoney means joining a respected name in the foodservice supply industry. We offer a supportive environment with a competitive benefits package, including RRSP matching and comprehensive health coverage. We value the unique perspective that a culinary professional brings to the sales process and provide the resources you need to transition into a successful B2B career.

If you are a motivated, organized professional with a passion for the culinary arts and a drive to succeed in sales, we invite you to apply.
