• Manage accounts after the first sale by checking in on samples, encouraging reorders, and sharing outreach feedback with brands.

• Work with engineers to provide regular feedback that helps improve the sales platform.

What We're Looking For

• Zero to three years of sales development or account executive experience, preferably with a CPG brand or brokerage.

• Experience with cold outbound prospecting, handling rejection, and responding effectively to objections.

• Experience managing brand or customer accounts from initial outreach through closed and repeat orders.

• Comfort learning and using AI tools and new technology.

• A bachelor's degree and familiarity with consumer packaged goods or retail sales.
