We’ve mastered the art of production; now, we are seeking a National Sales Manager to master the art of the market. This is an executive leadership role for a strategic titan ready to manage a vital part of the nation’s food security.

• Route-to-Market (RTM): Design and optimize distribution models that ensure our products move efficiently from our North Central HQ to retail shelves across the 36 states.

2. Leadership & Team Performance

• Command & Mentor: Direct a diverse team of Regional Sales Managers, fostering a culture of high performance and relentless growth.
