CDS Account Executive CAN

Account Executive, (Canada)

Bring the energy of Costco's famous free samples to life-and own the strategy behind it.

About the Role

You know that moment when a free sample turns into a cart full of new products? That's the business you'd be running. As Account Executive for Club Demonstration Services (CDS), you'll sell, build, and manage special event programs for the brands that showcase their products inside Costco-becoming the driving force behind some of the most recognizable in-store marketing in North America.

You'll partner directly with Costco's Director of Sales to shape event marketing strategy, then roll up your sleeves and run the day-to-day logistics that make each event a success. This is a role for someone who loves the mix of big-picture strategy and hands-on execution-and who's always scanning for the next opportunity to grow the business.

For more than 25 years, CDS has been the in-house product sampling company for Costco Wholesale, helping millions of members discover new products through the free samples Costco is famous for. Join a team that's shaped Costco's identity for a quarter century-and help write the next chapter.
