Consulting By Frank Marino & Assoc, LLC

Job Description

Retail Sales Manager | Frozen Food CPG

Chicago, IL · Full-time · In-person · Travel as needed

We’re conducting a confidential search for a Retail Sales Manager to build a grocery retail channel for a food company expanding into consumer packaged goods. The primary focus is winning the company’s first retail freezer placements and building a fresh packaged retail program. You’ll also support the foodservice sales team on select frozen opportunities.

What you’ll do

  • Build the retail sales plan from the ground up. Identify target grocers and regional chains, map category review calendars, and develop the broker, pricing, trade spend, and slotting strategy.
  • Lead buyer presentations and category reviews. Secure initial listings for frozen and fresh packaged products and manage broker and distributor relationships.
  • Own retail promotions, merchandising, and sell-through reporting. Use store-level results to improve sales velocity and inform product development.
  • Partner with the foodservice sales team on frozen opportunities with restaurant chains and coordinate with co-manufacturing and operations teams on volume forecasts.
  • Report weekly on pipeline and forecast. Track retail doors opened, SKUs placed, units sold per store per week, gross margin dollars, and trade spend efficiency.

What you’ll bring

  • 5+ years of retail CPG sales experience, ideally in frozen food or produce.
  • A track record of taking a new brand into grocery and securing initial retail placements.
  • Hands-on experience with category reviews, retail brokers and distributors, pricing, slotting, and trade promotions.
  • Ability to build a sales channel from the ground up and collaborate with foodservice and operations teams.
  • Based in the Chicago area or willing to relocate.

Compensation

Base salary plus uncapped commission on margin dollars.
