Sales Executive Assistant, Toronto

Brilliant Misfits Wanted – Start Your Career Connecting Great Thinkers with the World

Are you the kind of person who loves being helpful, staying organized, and learning how things really work behind the scenes? Do you get energy from supporting a team, solving problems, and being in the middle of meaningful work?

At The Lavin Agency we represent the world's leading thinkers—innovators, scholars, artists, and changemakers—and connect them with opportunities to share their ideas through speaking engagements. We're not your typical sales organization. This is not about selling widgets or quotas; it's about connecting powerful ideas with the right audiences.

We're looking for a Sales Executive Assistant to support our sales team. This is an entry-level role, but not a small one—you'll be a key part of how ideas move from conversation to the mainstage.

If you're curious, proactive, and eager to grow, this could be the start of something meaningful.

What You'll Do

• Assist with preparing and submitting speaker proposals.
• Support business development efforts, including research and outreach.
• Help draft, review, and manage contracts and related documentation.
• Keep things organized—tracking details, timelines, and communications.
• Jump in wherever needed to support the team and keep momentum going.

What We're Looking For

• You're a true team player—reliable, collaborative, and willing to help wherever needed.
• You're organized and detail-oriented, with a natural ability to keep things on track.
• You're curious and eager to learn, especially about sales, business, and the ideas that shape our world.
• You communicate clearly and professionally.
• You're adaptable—you're comfortable in a fast-moving environment where priorities shift
• You take initiative and thrive in a role where autonomy and collaboration go hand in hand.

No specific background required—this is a role for someone at the beginning of their career who's ready to learn quickly and grow.

What We Offer

• Salary of $60,000 a year.
• Health insurance and dental care.
• Life insurance and tuition reimbursement.
• Boutique gym membership.
• Weekly Zoom calls and in-person visits with top thinkers and industry leaders.
• A collaborative, dynamic, and intellectually stimulating work environment
• Real opportunities for growth and advancement within the company.

Why This Role Matters

This is more than an assistant role—it's an entry point into a unique world where ideas, relationships, and opportunities intersect. You'll learn how deals come together, how relationships are built, and how a small team can have a global impact.
