About the Role

The Manager, On-Premise Activations translates Pressed’s on-premise strategy into clear, scalable, and execution-ready programs across limited-service restaurants (LSR), cafés, bakeries, coffee chains, and other operator-driven outlets. This is an enablement-focused role, responsible for bringing operational clarity, commercial readiness, and disciplined follow-through to the on-premise channel. The manager ensures brokers, distributors, Sales, and operators have the tools, materials, communication, and training needed to execute with excellence — driving trial, trade-up, visibility (e.g. menu placement, brand presence) all keys to driving velocity.

We define success in this role not only by what gets delivered, but how: structured planning, proactive problem solving, consistent communication, cross-functional alignment, and operational feasibility.

Key Responsibilities

On-Premise Activation Planning & Program Development

• Develop and translate on-premise strategy into clear activation plans and operator-ready toolkits for LSR, cafés, bakeries, and coffee chains.
• Create and commercialize turn-key activation programs (e.g., Buy 2 for $XX, Boost Your Coffee with Immunity, “One for the Road,” seasonal bundles, menu add-ons).
• Ensure all programs are built for ease of execution, operational feasibility, and strong commercial outcomes.

Sell-In Tools, Playbooks & Execution Resources

• Build simple, execution-ready sell-in materials (menu guides, bundle frameworks, POS, sampling plans) that support operator adoption.
• Create operator, broker, and distributor playbooks that outline the what/why/how of each program.
• Produce activation checklists, templates, timelines, and standards that ensure consistent execution across outlets.
• Ensure all toolkits, briefs, assets, and timelines are delivered on time, accurate, scalable, and operationally feasible.

Cross-Functional Readiness & Test-and-Learn Commercialization

• Partner closely with Sales, Innovation, Supply Chain, and Marketing to ensure all programs and new items are commercially ready and operationally supported.
• Lead the test-and-learn process for on-premise, capturing insights, identifying what works, and converting learnings into scalable playbooks for teams, brokers, and distributors.
• Operationalize learnings into repeatable programs, execution improvements, and channel-specific best practices.
• Identify operational risks or misalignments early and bring forward clear, actionable solutions to keep programs on track.

Broker, Distributor & Operator Enablement

• Develop and deliver FSOP broker training (brand story, product line, SKUs, menu applications, key selling points).
• Create broker and distributor propaganda (initiative briefs, one-pagers, product spotlights, competitive advantages) to keep Pressed top-of-mind.
• Establish communication rhythms and readiness checkpoints so partners know exactly what’s coming, when, and how to execute.
• Maintain execution standards across operators through checklists, scorecards, and clear SOPs.

Asset Management, Execution Standards & Reporting

• Manage the creation, routing, and delivery of on-premise assets (menu toppers, counter displays, window clings, digital QR elements) ensuring accuracy, brand consistency, and operational ease.
• Set execution standards and develop tracking tools and field reporting routines that provide visibility to wins, gaps, and opportunities.
• Gather and synthesize operator and distributor feedback to inform future programs and influence Sales, Marketing, and Innovation decisions.

Qualifications

• 6 years in foodservice, on-premise, trade marketing, sales operations, commercial activation, or similar CPG experience.
• Experience supporting Foodservice On-Premise (FSOP), Limited Service Restaurant (LSR), or café/coffee/bakery channels strongly preferred.
• Demonstrated ability to translate commercial strategy into simple, actionable execution.
• Strong project management, organizational, and communication skills.
• Skilled in building toolkits, playbooks, training materials, and execution guides.
• Comfortable coordinating across Sales, Culinary, Innovation, Operations, and Marketing teams.
• A bias toward structure, clarity, action, and disciplined follow-through.
• Must be legally authorized to work in the United States without restriction.
