About The Company

Carbliss is a brand of SNFood & Beverage which is a family-owned and operated Ready to Drink Cocktail who stands for quality, excellence & innovation. We hire exceptional people who will lead & make learning part of their own career journey. From distribution to marketing, from sales to service, inspiration and motivation is at the core of what we do! An entrepreneurial spirit and ability to change directions quickly is a must.

A Day in the Life

As a Market Manager, you'll spend about 90% of your time in the field growing and managing accounts, with the remaining time focused on administrative tasks. You'll secure and expand distribution, overcome objections, close sales, and submit accurate orders while identifying opportunities and planning routes to meet quotas and placement goals.

You'll also lead a team of Brand Ambassadors who report directly to you, providing strong leadership, scheduling, accountability, and follow-up to ensure success. Building relationships with accounts and buyers is key, along with supporting product placement, promotions, and trend insights. You'll maintain updated contact lists, manage sales kits, and follow through on customer issues while ensuring compliance with regulations.

Additionally, you'll work with distribution partners, marketing, and internal teams while participating in meetings, trainings, and field activities. Flexibility is essential, as some early mornings, evenings, or weekends may be required. Additional responsibilities include monitoring inventory needs, conducting bar staff trainings and samplings, activating local marketing initiatives, securing menu placements and point of sale visibility, and using VIP's Customer Relationship Management (CRM) platform to track account activity.

Job Qualifications/What We Are Looking For

At Carbliss, we look for team members who are Hungry, Humble, and Smart, people who take initiative, value teamwork over ego, and lead with emotional intelligence. We thrive on an entrepreneurial mindset, embracing change and agility in a fast-paced, high-growth environment. A team-first mentality is essential; we celebrate wins together and step in to support each other when needed.

Integrity and accountability matter, you own your work, follow through on commitments, and do the right thing even when no one's watching. We value a results-driven approach, where goals and progress motivate you, and we welcome problem solvers who bring solutions, not just problems. Strong communication is key-you listen actively, speak with clarity, and build trust with customers, teammates, and partners.

Work Schedule

This role is primarily field based, with about 90% of your time spent visiting accounts and managing relationships in your market. The remaining time will be dedicated to administrative tasks such as reporting and planning. Flexibility is key. Expect some early mornings, evenings, and occasional weekends to support events, promotions, and account needs. Travel will be frequent, so comfort with being on the road is essential.
