SOAK Bath Co
Niverville, Manitoba
Starting at approximately 10 hours per week, with the opportunity to grow
Starting wage: $20 per hour. A higher starting wage may be considered for candidates with significant, directly relevant wholesale sales or account-management experience.
ABOUT SOAK BATH CO
SOAK Bath Co is a woman-owned, Canadian-made bath and body brand located in Niverville, Manitoba. Our products are handmade in our Manitoba studio by a team of nine women and are carried by more than 500 retailers across Canada.
Our bestselling soap bars are made with all-natural ingredients and wrapped in plantable seed paper labels that grow into wildflowers.
ABOUT THE ROLE
We are looking for a thoughtful, organized and sales-minded person to help grow the wholesale side of SOAK Bath Co.
This role will focus on building relationships with prospective, previous and current wholesale customers through personalized communication and consistent follow-up. You will help identify sales opportunities, reconnect with retailers and ensure promising wholesale accounts receive the attention needed to move forward.
The successful candidate will be able to create personalized communication based on each account’s needs, business type and history with SOAK Bath Co. You will use available customer information and online research to make each message relevant to the individual business.
This position is a good fit for someone who enjoys research, writing, organization and relationship-based sales.
SCHEDULE
This position will begin at approximately 10 hours per week.
The preferred core schedule is:
• Tuesday: 8:00 a.m.–1:00 p.m.
• Wednesday: 8:00 a.m.–1:00 p.m.
As the role grows, additional hours may be added during agreed-upon weekday daytime hours. The position is located in our Niverville studio and is not a remote role.
GROWTH OPPORTUNITY
This is a role that the right person will have the opportunity to build. The position will begin at approximately 10 hours per week while we evaluate the results generated through wholesale outreach and account follow-up.
As the employee demonstrates an ability to generate measurable wholesale revenue, manage opportunities effectively and create value for the business, there is an opportunity to increase the weekly hours. For a strong performer, this position has the potential to grow from part-time into a full-time role.
Growth of the role will be based on performance, revenue results and the evolving needs of the business rather than a guaranteed timeline.
TRADE-SHOW PARTICIPATION
Ideally, the successful candidate will also attend our two annual CanGift Toronto trade shows. These shows will provide an opportunity to meet the buyers they communicate with throughout the year, put a face to a name and develop a stronger understanding of the wholesale sales process by guiding retailers through the SOAK collection, recommending products suited to their stores and writing orders at the show.
The 2027 show dates are:
• January 24–28, 2027
• August 8–11, 2027
SOAK Bath Co will provide required flights, hotel accommodations and meals, in addition to wages for the scheduled show dates.

Experience in wholesale sales, retail buying, account management, customer service or sales administration would be an asset.
