This role is all about building relationships, closing deals, and making sure our products land in the right hands—from top distributors to key national and regional accounts.

If you’ve got CPG sales chops, know your way around distributors and national retail accounts, and can handle foodservice like a pro, we want to hear from you. Bonus points if you love a good trade show and can negotiate like a boss.
