What are the responsibilities and job description for the Retail National Account Manager position at Bobbie?
About Bobbie
Bobbie is creating a parenting culture of confidence, not comparison. And it starts with how we choose to feed our babies. We crafted our European style infant formula with purposefully sourced, organic ingredients to give parents a product they are proud to feed their babies, direct to their doorstep. Bobbie is proud to be the only US formula that is designed to meet both FDA and EU standards.
Although 83% of parents turn to formula in the first year of their baby's life, this is the silent majority that is often shamed for not being able to exclusively breastfeed. Co-founded by two moms and created by a team of mom scientists, nutritionists, pediatricians, and lactation consultants, the Bobbie team knows first hand that there is no one size fits all for feeding. With Bobbie, we hope you can Bottle Boldly.
The Role
The National Account Manager's responsibilities include oversight of all sales initiatives within their retail accounts to achieve maximum revenue for Bobbie's & Baby's Only portfolio of items. This entails working at strategic and tactical levels to help develop, implement, and manage programs that maximize short- and long-term company objectives for sales growth within retail channels. This individual will work closely with brokers, Director of Sales, and other cross functional teams (Marketing, Finance, Ops, Customer Service, etc.).
What you will accomplish:
Bring a proactive, results-driven approach to sales development, seamlessly managing day-to-day operations while guiding the strategic direction of the retail business. You'll lead with purpose across several key areas: account and broker management, planning and forecasting, data analysis and reporting, new product launches, and in-store execution—empowering the team to achieve substantial revenue growth and long-term success.
Compensation (This role has both a base salary and a bonus)
Our salaries are based on paying competitively for our size and industry. For fully remote roles, we have a single salary target per role that is differentiated based on geographic location (Group A, B, or C).
Group A (SF/Bay Area, Seattle, NYC): $130,000
Group B (Los Angeles, Chicago, Austin, Denver, Boston, Washington DC, San Diego, Philadelphia, Portland, Sacramento): $117,000
Group C (Everywhere else): $111,000
