Who We Are
SidelineSwap is the #1 online marketplace for sports gear. Since 2015, over two million athletes and families have bought and sold more than $250 million worth of used gear on our platform. Our mission is simple — make sports more affordable and accessible for everyone.
In 2022, we launched a trade-in program with Sporting Good Retailers and other leading retailers. We're now in 12 regions across the US and Canada, and we're growing fast.
The Role
We're looking for a Trading Coordinator + Account Executive to own the Toronto market. This is a two-part role — you'll host live trade-in events at Sporting Goods Retailers across the region, and manage your own SidelineSwap business account where all the gear you buy gets sold.
Think of it as running your own sports resale business with the backing of an established brand and a team behind you.

Average bonus earnings: $15,000–$20,000 per year
