Backcountry is a leading specialty outdoor brand founded in 1996 in Park City, Utah, powered by our expert Gearheads and a culture that connects people to the outdoors.

Since 2018 we’ve designed and built our own Backcountry-branded apparel, developed with Gearhead input. In late 2023 we announced our expansion into wholesale so customers can find Backcountry products at select retailers.

• Provide field feedback to the Backcountry team to inform product and merchandising.
• Attend key regional shows/retailer events; coordinate with marketing on co-op and content needs.
• Partner with operations to ensure smooth order flow and excellent customer support.

What You Bring

Proven multi-line rep experience in technical/outdoor apparel with an active AB account network.

• Fluency in performance fabrics and outerwear construction; strong presentation and clinic skills.
• A builder’s mindset: organized, self-directed, and relationship-obsessed.
• Passion for the outdoors and alignment with Backcountry’s values (Customer Obsessed, Problem Solvers, Curious Go-Getters, Spread the Stoke, Committed Collaborators).

What We Offer

• Commission-based compensation plus marketing and sampling support.
• A fast-growing owned brand with real product credibility (Gearhead-inspired design, premium material partners) and increasing awareness via wholesale and retail stores.
• The energy of the Backcountry “Goat” community and a deep catalog of adjacentowned labels to round out assortments when appropriate.
