What are the responsibilities and job description for the Food Service Sales Specialist position at Burnett Dairy Cooperative?
Ready to build a career in foodservice sales with a company that's as passionate about quality as you are?
Burnett Dairy Cooperative is looking for a motivated, relationship-driven Foodservice Sales Specialist to help grow our award-winning Italian cheese portfolio. If you have a knack for spotting new opportunities and a love for authentic flavor (hello, pizzerias!), this is your chance to make a real impact—and grow with us.
At Burnett Dairy, we’re proud of our rich heritage, farm-to-table quality, and commitment to building strong partnerships in the foodservice industry. We’re not just selling cheese—we’re delivering value, flavor, and innovation to every menu we touch. And now, we want you to help us expand our reach.
Why You’ll Love This Role:
- You get to stay close to food, people, and flavor—without the late nights or double shifts
- You're helping real businesses grow and thrive (and scoring some wins of your own)
- You’ll have the freedom and flexibility of an outside sales role, with support from a collaborative team and a trusted brand
- You’ll be in the field, not stuck behind a desk—traveling across AZ, CA, NV, CO and occasionally to our HQ in Wisconsin
- This is a career-building opportunity—perfect for someone early in their journey who’s coachable, energized, and ready to grow
What You’ll Be Doing:
- Develop and grow a customer base of pizzerias and foodservice operators
- Work closely with our broker partner in Arizona and collaborate with distributor sales teams
- Share product knowledge, drop off samples, and help customers incorporate our cheeses into their menus
- Use your listening and problem-solving skills to truly serve customers and uncover what they need
- Track activity and insights using Salesforce CRM
- Meet quarterly goals for sales volume and new customer growth
Who You Are:
- Based in Arizona and open to traveling 50% across the Western U.S.
- You might be coming from a background in sales, restaurants, hospitality, or culinary
- A self-starter with strong organizational skills and a drive to succeed
- Personable, approachable, and a great listener—you understand how to connect and build trust
- Someone who genuinely wants to help others succeed, not just close a deal
- Excited by a role where your hustle and heart both matter
Perks & Compensation:
- Base Salary: $70,000/year
- Sales Bonus Program
- Vehicle Allowance Cell Phone Reimbursement
- Comprehensive support and mentoring from an experienced team
- A real chance to grow within a respected and expanding cooperative
This is more than a job—it’s your next big opportunity.
If you’re ready to bring energy, empathy, and ambition to a role where you’ll help pizza operators thrive (and eat a little cheese along the way), apply today.
