WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR
Is your obsession with Wild Huckleberries only matched by your love of telling everyone why they should love Wild Huckleberries? We are searching for a food-obsessed Sales Executive, who cannot wait to connect farm-grown, foraged, and specialty products with top local chefs. You should have an intense passion for food, growers and small farm stories – and a desire to share that passion with everyone you work with, from the clients you’ll speak to daily to your team that you’ll dream to inspire.
You’ve worked in sales long enough to know what’s demanded of you: Cold-calling busy chefs, working to gain new clients and maintaining established ones, by sometimes visiting busy, hot kitchens, as the job demands. And, if you like to make and stick to budgets, almost as much as you love analyzing details, you may be our next Sales Executive.
