Wholesale Territory Manager - Midwest

Huckberry is an outdoor lifestyle brand built on the belief that adventure should be accessible, stylish, and built to last. We curate the world's best gear, apparel, and footwear—and now we're bringing that same obsession with quality and craft to wholesale retail partners across the country.  Our Wholesale team is growing, and we need a driven, people-first Territory Manager to expand our footprint and elevate the Huckberry experience at every single point of sale.

This isn't an order-writing desk job. As the face of Huckberry across the Midwest, you’ll operate at the high-octane intersection of sales, education, and brand building. You will spend significant time in the field managing national accounts, running product knowledge sessions, building killer visual displays, and scouting the next great independent accounts to join the family.  Based in Chicago, you’ll split time between your remote home office and Huckberry's local retail store—your basecamp for account meetings and market weeks.

In this position, you will report to the VP of Wholesale.

• Own weekly CRM field reporting, territory plans, quarterly business reviews, and travel budget efficiency

• 3–5 years of experience in field sales, territory management, or retail leadership—ideally within the apparel, footwear, outdoor, or lifestyle sectors
• A proven track record of opening new accounts, managing pipeline accounts, and driving territory sales growth
• Experience running product training for retail staff or working within national account field structures
• Established relationships within the Midwest specialty or independent retail community is a major plus
