Sales Operations Specialist

Bunzl Canada•Edmonton, AB

About The Position

In a multi-billion-dollar B2B distribution business, sales acceleration is more than a buzzword — it is a competitive advantage. The Sales Operations Specialist is a mission-critical role built for high-performing professionals who blend strategic thinking, operational precision, and commercial insight. You will operate across the entire sales ecosystem — from Outside Sales and Technical Specialists to Business Development and Own Brand teams — ensuring every seller is empowered to move faster, win more, and serve customers better. This is not your typical behind-the-scenes support role. You will be an initiative-taking, data-informed force for growth — connecting the dots across Sales, Marketing, Category Management, Customer Service, Accounts Receivable, and Analytics. Whether it is untangling complex workflows, removing barriers, or bringing smart strategies to life, you will be the go-to execution partner for keeping the pipeline moving and the team on point. At Bunzl, we thrive on digital execution, customer-first thinking, and operational excellence. If you are enthusiastic about sales enablement, obsessed with problem-solving, and excited to see the tangible impact of your work on revenue and customer success – this is your opportunity to lead from the center.
