this is where you come in
you will get satisfaction from leading change and growing a branded business with a predominantly private label customer base

you will have experience in managing third party distributor relationships, building joint business plans, and activating through both tactical trade marketing and hitting the pavement for days in trade with wholesaler sales teams
you will know how to grow 3rd party sales through strategic new business initiatives while also pulling up your sleeves to get the job done
this is a unique role because while the distribution relationships are established within the business, they are based primarily on order fulfillment/forecasting from a private label point of view rather than on building branded business
the two of you will drive new business through partner RTM’s
