Remote Direct Store Sales Representative (Cleveland, OH)

WHAT YOU’LL DO

As a DSS Representative, you’ll own your route and be on the front lines of our retail expansion. This is a high-velocity, high-impact role for someone who wants to close deals, move product, and dominate shelf space.

You’ll be out in the field every day—opening new doors, landing prime placements, and making sure Vivazen is impossible to miss. You’ll carry product, drive reorders, and keep stores stocked and selling. You’ll activate the brand with demos, events, and sampling that move the needle.

This role is built for someone who’s competitive by nature, thrives on autonomy, and wants their results to speak loud and clear. You’ll see your numbers, track your wins, and get noticed. Top reps don’t wait for promotions—they earn bigger territories, bonuses, and leadership paths fast.
