Why this role

Avante Displays designs and builds custom point-of-purchase displays for brands across Canada and the U.S. We’re growing and need a hands-on teammate who can keep the engine humming—coordinating sales activity, ordering materials, booking shipping, and keeping our inventory tight. If you like variety, are organized, and enjoy helping customers and a shop team win, you’ll fit right in.

Sales support & lead handling

Triage inbound leads (web, phone, referrals), qualify needs, and book discovery calls.

Keep our CRM up to date (we’ll train): notes, next steps, quotes sent, follow-ups.

Prepare basic estimates/quotes from specs and past jobs; coordinate samples.

Logistics, shipping & receiving

Create packing slips, arrange couriers/LTL, track shipments, and update customers.

Receive inbound goods, check against POs, and flag discrepancies.

Pitch in on the floor for counts/labeling as needed (light duty).

Purchasing & inventory

Source MDF/particle board, acrylic, hardware, and packaging; request/compare quotes.

Place and track POs; maintain reorder points and lead-time calendars.

Keep a simple, accurate inventory (weekly spot checks; monthly cycle counts).

Admin & coordination

Keep job folders tidy (drawings, approvals, photos).

Coordinate with production on deadlines, and with accounting on invoicing documentation.

What you’ll bring

2+ years in any combo of: inside sales, sales coordination, purchasing, shipping/receiving, or inventory control (manufacturing experience is a plus).

You’re organized, responsive, and comfortable prioritizing a busy inbox/phone queue.

Solid with Google Sheets/Excel and email; willing to learn our tools/CRM.

Clear communicator (written & verbal) with a friendly, professional vibe.

Able to lift up to ~40 lb occasionally and hold a valid driver’s licence.

Nice-to-haves (not required): forklift certification, comfort reading shop drawings, basic quoting experience, vendor relationships in wood/acrylic/packaging.

What success looks like (30/60/90)

30 days: inbox and CRM clean; vendors and carriers in your contacts; on-time shipments.

60 days: you’re independently placing POs, maintaining reorder points, and owning lead qualification.

90 days: you own the weekly materials & shipments huddle and consistently hit SLA targets for quotes, POs, and deliveries.
