Advantage Group International is seeking an ambitious project manager to join us in our journey of helping businesses be better together.
Our History and Mission: Thirty years ago, in Toronto, Canada, Founder Ron Pirie championed the belief that businesses work better together when they commit to actively listening and responding to each other’s feedback.
Ron’s original idea to have retailers’ rate and rank their suppliers was first conceptualized in 1988. Not long after, FMCGs and retailers throughout North America began to recognize that strong and measurable relationships are at the heart of improved business performance.
From humble beginnings and a staunch and universal belief that stronger collaboration leads to better business results in any market and any industry, our relationship benchmarking capabilities have become the gold standard for measuring business-to-business engagement in over 40 countries.
Our Values:
- Be Engaged – Be engaged on the team, and in the game.
- Empathetic Feedback – Give and receive empathetic feedback.
- High Performance – Succeed with a high-performance attitude.
- Find a Better Way – Seek to improve and find a better way.
