About Icebug
Icebug is a Swedish footwear brand built on a simple idea: shoes shouldn't make people slip. Since 2001, we've engineered best-in-class traction technology for icy, wet, and unpredictable terrain. Along the way, we took on a second mission: to prove that footwear can be made responsibly, without cutting corners on people or planet.
We're a certified B Corp. We've said no to things that would help our bottom line but hurt the world: no inbound airfreight, no Black Friday markdowns, no chasing the cheapest factory. We work closely with a small number of factories we know well, and we're part of the Fair Wear Foundation. We're growing, but growth isn't the point in itself. Doing this right is.
Icebug USA, SPC is expanding our independent sales rep team across North America and is currently hiring for three open territories: Northeast USA, Eastern Midwest USA, and Quebec/Maritimes Canada.

Responsibilities:
- Identify and pursue new wholesale accounts within your territory
- Build and maintain strong, long-term relationships with existing retail partners
- Run in-person sales meetings, product presentations, and seasonal sell-ins
- Represent Icebug at relevant trade shows and industry events
- Educate retailers and their staff on what sets Icebug apart, from our traction technology to our sustainability practices
- Meet or exceed sales goals for your territory
- Attend product training and brand meetings to stay current on the line
Qualifications:
- Existing relationships with outdoor, footwear, or specialty retailers in your territory (strongly preferred)
- Experience as an independent or multi-line sales rep in outdoor, footwear, or a related category
- Self-starter, comfortable managing your own schedule, travel, and account list
- Genuine enthusiasm for the outdoors and for sustainable, purpose-driven brands
- Strong communicator who builds trust easily with retail partners
- Based in the territory, with the ability to travel within it regularly
What Icebug Offers:
- Competitive commission-based earnings tied to your territory's performance, with room to grow as you build your account base
- A well-regarded, design-forward product line with a genuine sustainability story to sell
- Support from a small, hands-on U.S. team
- An invitation to join us in-person in Bellingham, WA this October to kick off the FW27 sell-in season alongside the rest of the sales team
- The opportunity to build a territory largely from the ground up, for a brand with over a decade of proven traction in the U.S. market.
