Merchant Development Manager – CPG Brand Sourcing 260 views0 applications

About SnackMagic: 

SnackMagic is a global snack and swag gifting service. Our unique edge is our signature build-your-own/customizable snack stash concept. Through SnackMagic, corporate organizers are able to use our easy-to-use platform to provide mood-boosting gifts to delight groups of 5-20,000. 

We’re a product-first ambitious team that not only survived, but thrived amid the pandemic. We transformed from a solid New York City-based office lunch service, called STADIUM, whose trajectory was thrown off-course given the changing dynamic of working on-site, and have since never looked back. SnackMagic today has outpaced years of STADIUM’s growth due to our agility and ability to widen our customer footprint in a changing world.


Though we started our journey as a gifting platform, our vision is to help consumers connect with the best food and beverage products.  We’re taking our company to new heights as we look beyond our core of enterprise gifting, and foray into direct-to-consumer product discovery and e-commerce.

Our CPG (consumer packaged goods) Merchants team is looking for a passionate food/beverage enthusiast to focus on sourcing new brand suppliers to join SnackMagic. You will be at the exciting forefront of seeing our partner network scale, while bringing the best products to our global customers, and providing a continuous value-add to our innovative brands.

SnackMagic is based in New York City, but this would be a full-time, fully remote position.  The first three months will be a probationary period in which the candidate and company can prove to be a fit for one another. This hire will report to the company’s Head of Merchant Development, and senior team member of the CPG Merchants team. 

Must apply via this link and answer industry knowledge questions.

The ideal candidate will have:

– Bachelor’s Degree, preferred 
– 1-5 years of food consumer packaged goods industry experience, strongly preferred
– Sales background, or experience onboarding partnerships, strongly preferred — candidate must be a solid communicator with a strong sense of responsiveness 
– Hard-working, mature, and positive attitude; no task is too big or small mindset

About this Position:

New Brand Sourcing: ~ 70%

Ongoing Brand Relationships & Menu Management: ~ 30%

-Act as day to day contact for current brand partner communication, questions, troubleshoot issues cross functionally with other teams (Finance, Operations, Product, Growth)
-Monitoring brand performance: identifying opportunities upsell brands to new programs, educating them on new promotional opportunities, and understanding when to turnover our portfolio to find new partners when required
-Monitoring the look & feel of brand products on the menu for optimal presentation and sales: ensuring that products are accurately categorized, positioned correctly
