Sales Account Manager, Independent Pet (Pacific Northwest - Portland, OR or Seattle, WA preferred)

ABOUT ANTELOPE

Antelope is reimagining pet care through a modern omnichannel platform built for today’s pet parents. Since launching in 2021, we’ve been on a mission to raise the standard for what pets eat, how they’re cared for, and the brands behind it all.

Our name says it all. Ante means raising the bar. Lope means moving forward together. That’s exactly what we’re doing by acquiring and growing some of the most loved natural pet brands in the market.

Backed by Alpine Investors, we’ve already brought together a standout portfolio including Bocce’s Bakery, Diggin’ Your Dog / Super Snouts, My Perfect Pet, and Ark Naturals. And we’re just getting started. With plans to continue expanding, we’re building the go-to house of brands for independent pet retailers and passionate pet parents alike.

This role sits at the heart of our independent pet channel, where you’ll manage and grow existing accounts across Washington, Montana, Oregon, Idaho, and Wyoming, while also opening new doors, building strong relationships, and driving the business forward.

You won’t just sell one brand, you’ll represent the full Antelope portfolio across Bocce’s Bakery, Super Snouts, Ark Naturals, My Perfect Pet, and more.
