Manager
About the role
- Build, own, and optimize the sales operating system in partnership with the leadership team.
- Standardize how the team sells — shared process, pipeline discipline, and clear performance standards across every territory.
- Identify gaps and opportunities across coverage, accounts, and process, and close them systematically.
- Adapt proven systems to the nuances of our industry, channels, and stage of growth.
- Establish the metrics and forecasting models that make revenue predictable and coaching objective.
- Strategic Leadership:
- Build and develop the sales leadership team that owns day-to-day execution.
- Develop talent at every level and set the team up to win.
- Recruit aggressively across leadership seats, open territories, and key roles.
- Set the culture of accountability and buy-in for the entire sales organization.
- Sales Execution & Accountability:
- Own the operating rhythm: forecasts, pipeline reviews, quota attainment, and performance management through your leadership team.
- Own the number — national revenue targets across wholesale, distribution, and retail channels.
- Make data-driven territory, account, and people decisions using our CRM and sales intelligence stack.
- Industry & Market:
- Learn our channel deeply — smoke shops, distributors, wholesale — and stay ahead of regulatory and competitive shifts.
- All other duties as assigned.
- 5+ years of sales leadership with a track record of building — not inheriting — the systems behind a scaled sales org: quota models, coaching frameworks, and performance standards you can show on paper.
- Proven leader of leaders: has built and managed through a leadership layer — developing managers, not just reps — in a scaled, multi-territory sales organization.
- Experience in hemp, cannabis, bev-alc, or other regulated or distribution-heavy industries strongly preferred; deep retail and wholesale fluency.
- Low-ego learner: masters the nuances of our industry before installing solutions — adapts proven systems to the business rather than forcing the business into old systems.
- Data-driven operator comfortable in CRM and analytics tools; balances big-picture strategy with hands-on execution.
- Must be 21 years or older, eligible to work in a regulated product industry, and able to travel as needed.
- Data-driven operator who models the logic behind decisions — quota design, territory math, capacity planning, etc so choices are built on data rather than gut.
- Pay range and compensation package
- Key Performance Indicators (KPIs): New accounts opened, Qualified meetings scheduled, Monthly sales growth, Distribution gains, SKU placements per account, Account activation rate, CRM compliance and activity levels.
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
