VP of Sales

VP Of Sales

We started Van Leeuwen Ice Cream in a yellow truck on the streets of NYC in 2008 with a mission to make good ice cream that makes you feel good.

Nowadays, people can spend so much time on what's "healthy" they don't stop to consider what's healthy. As far as we're concerned, happiness is healthiness. We strive to ensure every scoop, store and employee feels and creates one community to contribute to the overall brand.

Van Leeuwen Ice Cream is hiring a full-time Vice President of Sales. This is a great opportunity for a highly experienced individual to work closely with the founding team of Van Leeuwen Ice Cream as they embark on their next stage of accelerated growth. The ideal candidate is someone who is highly experienced with sales in the CPG space, data driven, and can thrive in a fast-paced environment (and loves ice cream!).

As VP of Sales you will be responsible for promoting sales growth in the wholesale market through creating positive relationships with retailers and overseeing their handling and promotion of the Van Leeuwen product. You must be both strategic and operational, willing to roll up your sleeves to ensure execution but also have the wisdom and experience to lead with a focused vision and confidence.

This role reports directly to the Founders of Van Leeuwen Ice Cream and is remote anywhere in the United States.
