Door-to-Door Marketer

This Is Not a Typical Summer Job

This is not a sit-down, post-on-social-media internship.

We are building a small, driven, performance-focused marketing team to fuel the growth of a high-performing residential painting business in downtown and east-end Toronto. This role is for individuals who want real-world sales and marketing experience, real responsibility, and the chance to outperform their peers.

SW Home Reno is a locally operated home services business focused on professionalism, execution, and results. Our marketers are the front line of the business—and the work you do directly impacts revenue.

• Booking free estimates for our sales team

• Working within assigned postal-code territories

• One-on-one coaching and performance feedback

• Transferable skills in communication, persuasion, and professionalism
