The Opportunity

We’re looking for a strategic Chief Revenue Officer to lead a comprehensive analysis of our sales organization and revenue operations — helping us evolve from strong foundations to scalable excellence.

This is a strategic and non-operational role — ideal for a senior sales or revenue leader who thrives on building, assessing, and optimizing structures without being immersed in the day-to-day of sales management or direct selling.

You’ll work closely with our senior leadership team — including our CEO, CCO and our CGO, and help lead our sales team — by evaluating our sales approach, identifying areas for improvement, and developing strategies that strengthen our revenue engine and long-term growth potential.

Key Responsibilities

Conduct a holistic analysis of Trend Hunter’s commercial ecosystem, including:
Sales process and buyer journey
Team structure, roles, and incentive alignment
Ideal Customer Profile (ICP) and go-to-market strategy
Sales enablement tools, assets, and resources
Revenue forecasting and planning structure
Manage, mentor, and develop the Account Executive team — providing guidance, support, and performance insights to enhance effectiveness and alignment with company goals.
Gather insights through stakeholder interviews and CRM data analysis (with Sales Ops support).
Assess market positioning and conduct competitor analysis, building on existing research and frameworks.
Identify opportunities for greater process efficiency, enablement, and scalability.
Collaborate with leadership to design a roadmap for growth — outlining structural improvements, resourcing, and strategic priorities.
Present clear, data-driven recommendations that inform executive decision-making and guide the evolution of our sales organization.

Who You Are

10+ years of progressive experience in sales, business development, or revenue operations, including 5+ years in a senior leadership role (VP Sales, CRO, or equivalent).
A seasoned revenue leader with a proven ability to build, assess, and scale high-performing teams.
A critical thinker with a strong strategic mindset and exceptional analytical capabilities.
Skilled at diagnosing organizational challenges and creating actionable, scalable solutions.
Confident working at the executive level, collaborating across marketing, operations, and leadership.
Passionate about innovation, culture, and helping purpose-driven companies achieve sustainable growth.

Why Join Trend Hunter

Be part of an award-winning culture recognized for creativity, collaboration, and flexibility.
Collaborate with a passionate team that helps global brands build a better future.
Work at the intersection of strategy, innovation, and social impact.
Opportunity for long-term growth and executive leadership within one of Canada’s most recognized innovation firms.
