The Role

We are looking for an outgoing and motivated Part-Time Event Sales Associate to represent Brindy Silk at trade shows, markets, pop-ups, and special events throughout Edmonton and surrounding communities.

This is much more than standing behind a booth.

We are looking for someone who is comfortable approaching customers, starting conversations, demonstrating products, recommending products, closing sales, and working toward sales targets.

Full paid product and sales training will be provided.

For the right candidate, this position has the potential to grow into additional responsibilities and increased hours in 2027.

• Proactively greet and engage customers rather than waiting for customers to approach.

• Recommend products based on customers' individual preferences and needs.
• Demonstrate products and answer customer questions.

• Transport Brindy Silk merchandise, inventory, bins, displays, and event supplies when required.
• Load and unload event materials safely and carefully.
• Travel to markets and events throughout Edmonton and surrounding communities.
• Be comfortable driving to different event venues as required.

Because transporting inventory and event materials is an important part of this position, reliable access to your own SUV, truck, or van is mandatory.

Our ideal candidate is:

• Outgoing, confident, and comfortable approaching strangers.
• Naturally friendly and able to build rapport quickly.

• Organized and attentive to detail.
• Comfortable handling cash and customer transactions.
• Able to stay productive during both busy and slower periods.
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced event environment.
• Willing to help with physical booth setup and takedown.
