Job Description

National Sales Manager | Flavors

Remote | Midwest, South & Southeast Territory

We're partnering with a growing, mid-sized flavor house to find a National Sales Manager who knows the flavor industry, loves developing new business, and gets excited about building something!

This is a newly created position with a company that's experiencing tremendous growth. The territory is largely untapped, so the right person has a real opportunity to make an impact.

We're looking for a true hunter. Someone who enjoys opening doors, building relationships from the ground up, and turning new opportunities into long-term customers.

The Opportunity

As National Sales Manager, you'll develop new business across a territory stretching from Wisconsin south through Texas and east to Florida.

You'll have the opportunity to:

• Develop and grow a territory with significant untapped potential.
• Identify and pursue new business opportunities within food and beverage manufacturing.
• Build relationships with R&D, product development, procurement, and other key decision-makers.
• Work closely with flavor development and technical teams to bring creative solutions to customers.
• Manage the sales process from initial introduction through commercialization.
• Play an important role in the continued growth of an established flavor house.

Who We're Looking For

First and foremost, you must currently be selling flavors within the food and beverage industry. This is a requirement for the role.

Beyond that, we're looking for someone who:

• Has a proven track record of hunting and winning new business in the flavor industry.
• Understands the flavor development process and how to work with customers on new applications.
• Is comfortable prospecting, making introductions, and developing relationships from scratch.
• Can manage a territory independently and take ownership of their results.
• Brings energy, initiative, and a genuine passion for sales.
• Lives within the assigned territory, from Wisconsin south through Texas and east to Florida.

Why This Opportunity?

Beyond the growth potential and opportunity to build a territory, one of the biggest selling points is the leadership team.

The CEO is someone I've had the pleasure of working with for years. He's approachable, down-to-earth, and genuinely cares about his people. It's the kind of leadership that makes a difference when you're considering your next career move.

The company offers a competitive base salary, uncapped commission , and the opportunity to make a meaningful impact as the business continues to grow.
