Harrowsmith Local Regional Accounts Manager – Barrie Corridor
Location Remote / Field-Based – Barrie and surrounding corridor
Time Commitment Minimum 25 hours per week
Compensation Commission-based with strong earning potential
Help Build Harrowsmith Local in the Barrie Corridor
Harrowsmith magazine is expanding its 50-year Canadian legacy with Harrowsmith Local, a community-based regional publication rooted in place, food, nature, makers, growers and the people who bring those values to life.
As Harrowsmith Local grows its presence throughout the Barrie corridor, we are looking for a well-connected, experienced sales professional who understands the local business community and enjoys building meaningful relationships.
This is an ideal opportunity for a seasoned advertising or media sales professional — including someone semi-retired — who wants to stay active, connected and engaged in sales while representing a respected Canadian lifestyle brand.
Position Overview
The Regional Accounts Manager – Barrie Corridor will be responsible for developing advertising partnerships with local businesses, service providers, community organizations and regional brands that align with the Harrowsmith Local audience.
This is not simply an ad sales role. It is a relationship-driven opportunity for someone who can open doors, listen carefully to business owners, understand their goals and present thoughtful print and digital advertising solutions.
The right person will already have strong connections in Barrie and surrounding communities and will be comfortable dedicating a minimum of 25 hours per week to prospecting, client meetings, follow-up, account management and sales reporting. Existing membership or active involvement in the local BIA, Chamber of Commerce or other business/community organizations is a definite asset.
What You’ll Do
Build and manage advertising relationships throughout the Barrie corridor, representing Harrowsmith Local’s print, digital, newsletter, social media and website opportunities. This role includes prospecting, client meetings, follow-up, account management, sales reporting and staying connected with the local business community.
Additional Moongate Sales Opportunity
In addition to Harrowsmith Local sales, this role may also provide earning potential through other Moongate Publishing opportunities where there is a natural fit. Moongate Publishing develops trusted print, digital and custom media programs that connect engaged audiences with brands, businesses and community partners. Its work includes magazine publishing, advertising programs, sponsored content, digital storytelling and partnership-based media opportunities.
For the right person, this creates the potential to grow income beyond one regional sales territory while continuing to represent trusted, community-focused media brands.
Ideal Experience
Experience in advertising, media, sponsorship, business development or local B2B sales is preferred. Existing relationships with chambers, BIAs, real estate groups, service clubs, retailers, professional services, tourism operators, home and garden businesses or other local decision-makers would be a strong asset.
Why Join Harrowsmith Local?
This is a flexible, field-based opportunity with strong commission-based earning potential and the chance to represent Harrowsmith Local, a trusted extension of Harrowsmith’s 50-year Canadian media legacy.
You will help local businesses increase their visibility while supporting a regional publication focused on community, food, nature, makers, growers and sustainable living.
