Job description

Location : LOVE CORN HQ is in Bergen County, NJ but for the right candidate this role could be remote.

Exciting opportunity to join LOVE CORN — the fastest-growing, emerging snack brand in the USA & UK — and help build the next iconic global snack brand.

Founded in 2017 by family members Gavin, Missy & Jamie McCloskey, LOVE CORN is creating a new snacking category ‘Premium Crunchy Corn’ and is sold in 20,000+ stores across the US & UK and just getting started.

Key Responsibilities

1. Away From Home Channel Development

  • Develop and execute a go-to-market strategy for Away From Home : identify key sub‑channels (e.g., education, healthcare, hospitality, hotels, corporate, travel, vending).
  • Open new accounts with national / regional food service operators (e.g., Compass, Sodexo, Aramark).
  • Lead sell‑in with distributors and brokers (e.g., Vista, UNFI, Sysco, US Foods).

2. Account Management

  • Lead new item presentations, sampling programs.
  • Attend trade shows, client fairs and events.
  • 3. New Business & Sales Execution

  • Own the full sales cycle from prospecting to closing.
  • Develop and manage a pipeline of leads and track progress in CRM.
  • Lead RFP submissions, bids, and pricing strategies.
  • 4. Broker Management

  • Oversee and manage broker relationships, ensuring alignment with company objectives.
  • Monitor and evaluate broker performance against established KPIs.
  • Driving accountability and ensuring successful execution of sales strategies.
  • 5. Cross‑Functional Collaboration

  • Provide input into product development and pack format needs specific to food service.
  • Qualifications

  • 3–7 years of food service sales experience in CPG, preferably snacks or better‑for‑you categories.
  • Deep understanding of the food service landscape—distributors, brokers, GPOs, operators.
  • Strong relationships with key distributors and management companies at the national level (bonus if existing connections with Compass, Aramark, etc.).
