Purpose & Scope of Position

The Field Sales Manager leads the performance, development, and execution of SnugZ's Outside Sales team. This role exists to maximize territory performance by building exceptional sales talent, strengthening distributor relationships, improving sales execution, and creating a culture of coaching, accountability, and continuous improvement.

Rather than managing transactions, this leader develops people. They spend time in the field observing, coaching, challenging assumptions, identifying opportunities, and helping Territory Representatives become trusted business advisors to their distributors.

Success in this role is measured by increased territory revenue, stronger distributor engagement, improved forecasting accuracy, and consistently elevating the performance of every member of the sales organization.

The Field Sales Manager partners closely with Sales Leadership, Customer Experience, Marketing, Merchandising, Operations, and Product teams to ensure the voice of the customer influences business decisions while delivering an exceptional distributor experience.

Who We're Looking For

We're looking for a leader who develops people, drives performance, and leads with accountability. They understand that sustainable sales growth comes from building confident Territory Representatives, strengthening distributor relationships, and executing with discipline.

This leader adapts their approach to the individual-providing guidance when needed, challenging assumptions when appropriate, and empowering experienced representatives with the autonomy they've earned. They build trust through consistency, communicate with transparency, and aren't afraid to have candid conversations that help people and the business grow.

Equally comfortable in the field with Territory Representatives, analyzing business performance, or collaborating with cross-functional partners, they balance strategic thinking with operational excellence. They use data to drive decisions, relationships to influence outcomes, and integrity to earn respect.

Most importantly, they embrace SnugZ's Core Values and believe exceptional customer experiences begin with exceptional leadership.

We're serious about performance, passionate about our customers, and believe work should be challenging, rewarding, and fun. If that sounds like your kind of team, we'd love to meet you.
