Director of Sales, National Accounts
About the job
A family-owned premium seafood producer is hiring a Director of Sales, National Accounts to own its largest grocery and club retail relationships. The company is a category leader coming off the best year in its history, and it's moving into a more structured growth phase. You'll report directly to the President and manage the national book end to end: formal bids, vendor setup and compliance, and negotiated seasonal and volume programs. You'll also work with leadership on pricing and forecast demand ahead of key selling seasons. This is a hands-on, individual-contributor seat, not a team-lead role. The Director title is client-facing, and you'll have a direct line to ownership.
