Job Description
National Account Manager- West
Our name made a WHOLE LOT OF SENSE in 1948 when we began with bulk sugar distribution throughout the New York Metro area which led to our marketing and distribution of one of the most recognizable sweetener brands, Sweet ’N Low®.
However, today — we’re not just sugar any more. Instead, today it is more accurate to say we are SUGAR and FOODS. In addition to sugar and sweeteners, we currently offer an extensive and diverse product line of croutons, non-dairy creamer, crunchy salad toppings, stuffing, snacks, and more.
Our customers recognize us as industry professionals whose reliability and soundness have been tested and proven for over 60 years. We are committed to building loyal, long–term relationships with our customers and we are committed to continue to excel under the name people know us —Sugar Foods Corporation.
In this critical role you will:
*Build top line sales in Foodservice National and Regional Chain accounts
*Negotiate “win win” sales solutions profitably and creatively
*Develop and execute the strategic and operating plan of the Foodservice Division
*Build relationships with key decision makers
*Interact closely with customer culinary and R & D teams where applicable
*Interface with customers for menu development, marketing, and new products
*Communicate effectively with departments at Sugar Foods i.e. R&D, QA, manufacturing, acct, etc.
*Deliver first class presentations based on customer needs and wants
*Utilize relevant industry analytics in building business
