About The Position

As Canada’s second-largest commercial radio broadcaster, Vista Radio Ltd operates over 70 radio stations and digital news portals across three provinces and the Northwest Territories. Each of our stations is deeply rooted in the communities we serve while retaining local voices, building strong connections, and delivering stories that matter. Paired with dynamic digital portals, our stations provide 24/7 access to timely, trusted, and hyper-local content, keeping our audiences informed, engaged, and connected. Vista Radio’s elite sales division is called Vista Idea Sales (VIS) — and no, we don’t do “typical” sales. We challenge it, push it, and outperform it. As Vista continues to grow across Canada, this team is at the center of it all — driving revenue across multiple markets from one place: the Okanagan region in BC. We’re not just growing — we’re building one of the most dynamic media sales teams in the country. We are looking for a lifer, someone who gets us and wants to grow with us long-term. We’re competitive, driven, and we support each other to win. This is not an easy role — it’s a high-energy, high-reward environment where resilience, consistency, and attitude matter. If you’re someone who thrives on challenge, isn’t afraid of hearing “no,” and knows that success in sales is built through dedication to training, and pure old-fashioned hard work — we’re ready to talk to you. Vista Radio has an immediate opening for a full-time Account Executive, based in Kelowna, BC, as part of our Vista Idea Sales (VIS) team. This role focuses on sales, working with clients across Canada in all Vista Radio markets. No travel is required though as almost all the work will be via correspondence, primarily on the phone.
