B2B Sales - Dealer Program Manager (Window Coverings)

The Opportunity

RYSE is on a mission to automate every window in the world. We've built smart motors that retrofit onto existing window blinds and curtains, turning them into voice-controlled, app-enabled smart home devices. We're growing fast, and we need someone to own and scale our dealer network across North America.

This isn't a typical corporate sales role. You'll be building a channel from the ground up - establishing relationships with window blind dealers and showrooms, creating the onboarding process, and becoming the face of RYSE to our dealer partners. If you're entrepreneurial, love talking to people, and want real responsibility early in your career, this is your chance.

What You'll Do

Build & Manage Our Dealer Network

• Outbound/Inbound Emails and Calls to prospects
• Qualify and onboard new window blind dealers and showrooms who want to sell RYSE products
• Send sample kits, schedule installation support calls, and walk dealers through their first experience with our products
• Conduct training calls and provide ongoing support to help dealers successfully sell and install RYSE
• Travel to visit key dealers in the US and Canada (expect 15-20% travel - think trade shows, dealer visits, and relationship building)

Own the Dealer Experience

• Be the primary point of contact for all dealer questions, issues, and needs
• Process orders, track shipments, handle returns, and resolve problems quickly
• Run regular check-ins with dealers to understand what's working and what's not
• Create marketing materials, FAQs, and resources that make it easier for dealers to sell

Scale What Works

• Track metrics: conversion rates, dealer satisfaction, order volume, and channel revenue
• Document what works (and what doesn't) so we can refine the process over time
• Report monthly to the founder on program performance and suggest improvements
• Eventually hire and train additional team members as the network grows

Requirements

Who You Are

You're a Builder

You don't need a script or a fully-baked process - you're excited to figure things out as you go. You're comfortable with ambiguity and see problems as opportunities to create solutions.

You're a People Person

You genuinely like talking to people - on the phone, on Zoom, and in person. You can build rapport with baby boomer business owners and make them feel confident about trying something new. You're patient, empathetic, and can explain technical products in simple terms.

You're Hungry

You want to prove yourself, earn more, and grow quickly. You're motivated by commission, excited by the idea of building something from scratch, and ready to hustle. You see this as a launchpad, not just a job.

You're Organized & Reliable

You follow through on commitments, respond to emails within 24 hours, and keep detailed notes. You don't let things slip through the cracks. If a dealer has a problem, you own it until it's solved.

What We're Looking For

Must-Haves

• Valid passport and ability to travel to the US regularly (15-20% travel)
• Excellent communication skills - phone, email, and video calls
• Comfortable with technology - you'll need to learn our products, use CRM software, and manage spreadsheets
• Self-starter mentality - you don't wait to be told what to do
• Based in or willing to relocate to the Greater Toronto Area

Nice-to-Haves

• Sales, customer success, or account management experience
• Experience in B2B or channel sales
• Background in home improvement, construction, or window covering industry
• Startup experience or entrepreneurial mindset
