How to Apply for Area Sales Manager, Canada

at Aeroseal, LLC.

🏢 About Aeroseal, LLC.

Aeroseal is a climate tech innovator that has developed patented aerosol sealing technology to dramatically reduce air leaks in buildings. Unlike traditional sealing methods, their solutions address both ductwork and building envelopes, directly tackling energy waste and carbon emissions in the construction industry. Working here means contributing to tangible environmental impact through technology that improves building efficiency and occupant comfort.

About This Role

As Area Sales Manager for Canada, you'll be responsible for driving adoption of Aeroseal's duct and envelope sealing technologies specifically among residential new construction builders. This remote role involves building relationships with builders and energy advisors across Canada, using a full sales cycle approach from lead generation to closing deals. Your success directly expands the company's footprint in a key market while promoting sustainable building practices that reduce energy consumption and emissions.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day involves virtual meetings with builders across different Canadian time zones to demonstrate Aeroseal's value proposition, followed by analyzing construction market data to identify new opportunities. You might spend time coordinating with energy advisors to create referral partnerships, then prepare customized presentations for builder decision-makers, all while tracking leads through the sales pipeline using CRM tools from your remote workspace.

🎯 Who Aeroseal, LLC. Is Looking For

  • Has 7+ years of B2B sales experience, preferably in building materials, construction products, or energy efficiency solutions for the residential construction sector
  • Demonstrates deep understanding of Canadian residential construction processes, builder pain points, and familiarity with energy advisors or programs like ENERGY STAR
  • Possesses a proven track record of building long-term relationships with builders, contractors, or developers, not just transactional sales
  • Combines strategic market analysis skills with hands-on sales execution, able to identify opportunities in Canada's diverse regional construction markets
