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
