Role Description
We’re Hiring for Two Regional Sales Manager Opportunities
Simple Mills is growing our Sales team and hiring two Regional Sales Managers. Both positions will play an important role in driving sales growth, expanding distribution, strengthening customer partnerships, and leading broker relationships. Each role, however, will support a different part of our business:
Regional Sales Manager – Natural Channel
This position will focus on our Natural and Independent channel, supporting natural and specialty retailers such as INFRA, NCG, New Seasons Market, MOM’s Organic Market, PCC Community Markets, Fresh Thyme Market, The Fresh Market, Earth Fare, and other natural and independent customers.
The ideal candidate will bring experience working within the natural channel, managing broker relationships, and building strong partnerships with natural and specialty retailers. Experience working with NCG and INFRA is especially valuable. This position will report to the Director of Sales – Natural Channel.
Regional Sales Manager – Central
This position will manage retail accounts geographically located throughout the Central Region of the United States. The Regional Sales Manager – Central will be responsible for growing existing business, securing new distribution, managing regional broker relationships, and expanding the Simple Mills brand throughout the territory.
Although Simple Mills supports remote work, we will prioritize candidates located within the Central Region because of the customers and territory this position will support. This position will report to the Senior Manager of Regional Sales.
Candidates are encouraged to indicate whether their background and interests align most closely with the Natural Channel opportunity, the Central Region opportunity, or both.
