Sales Operations Coordinator– Markham, Ontario

Over the last 137 years Clover Leaf has grown to offer a variety of seafood products including canned tuna, salmon, sardines, oysters, mussels, clams, and shrimp. Clover Leaf is consistently voted by Canadians as the #1 most trusted brand for canned seafood. Today, canned seafood is bought by 70% of Canadians. Clover Leaf is the #1 brand in the category, with over 40% share of the market and 90% brand awareness. Clover Leaf Seafoods offers seafood under the Clover Leaf, and Brunswick brands.
