ABOUT US:
Smak Plastics has been a leader in rotationally molded plastic solutions in the Pacific Northwest since 2007. As the North American manufacturer and distributor of Flextank — the world's leading oxygen-permeable polyethylene tanks for wine, cider, spirits, and craft beverage fermentation and storage — we serve thousands of wineries, cideries, and food production operations worldwide.
Flextank products are trusted by more than 5,000 wineries globally, offering a sustainable, cost-effective alternative to oak barrels and stainless tanks. Built to last up to 20 years, Flextanks help beverage producers reduce costs, improve efficiency, and increase production capacity.
This is an exciting opportunity to represent a premium, category-leading product line in a fast-growing industry.
Job Summary
We are seeking a driven, relationship-focused Account Manager to own and grow the Flextank product line across North America.

This is an on-site position based at our Vancouver, WA office. When not traveling for sales calls, trade shows, or direct customer activities, you will be expected to work from our office — collaborating closely with the operations, marketing, and leadership teams to drive the Flextank business forward.
