Description

Our client is a large, privately held food manufacturer seeking a highly organized and strategic marketing professional to help elevate and unify their foodservice sales organization.

This is not a consumer marketing role.

This position sits at the intersection of foodservice sales, brand positioning, market insight, and sales enablement. The person in this role will help create the structure, tools, messaging, and systems that support a national foodservice sales team working with distributors, brokers, regional operators, and large restaurant groups.

The organization has experienced significant growth and success, but much of the sales support infrastructure today is decentralized. Leadership is looking for someone who can bring consistency, organization, stronger storytelling, and a more strategic go-to-market approach across the foodservice business.

This is a highly visible opportunity to build something meaningful inside a well-established and financially strong company with substantial runway for growth and future expansion.

Why This Role Stands Out

Build the Foundation

Help create the centralized marketing and sales support structure that does not exist today. This role will serve as the key resource for presentations, sales assets, positioning, and customer-facing materials across the foodservice organization.

Strategic & Tactical Impact

This role combines hands-on execution with strategic influence. You will support day-to-day sales needs while also helping leadership better understand market trends, competitive positioning, portfolio gaps, and growth opportunities.

Significant Visibility & Career Growth

This is a newly created role with direct exposure to senior leadership. Strong performers will have the opportunity to expand their influence well beyond the foodservice division over time.

What You’ll Own

Create and maintain the core messaging, content structure, and strategic direction for customer-facing sales presentations and foodservice selling materials
Develop and organize a centralized library of approved presentations, product photography, sell sheets, POS materials, and sales assets
Support regional sales managers and broker teams with customer-specific presentation content and selling stories
Help create stronger, more consistent brand positioning and storytelling across the organization
Partner with Sales leadership to define and communicate key product differentiators and value propositions
Analyze market trends, customer needs, competitive activity, and product portfolio opportunities
Support go-to-market strategy discussions and help identify whitespace opportunities within the marketplace
Manage external creative and design resources responsible for presentation and collateral execution
Help establish processes, structure, and organization around foodservice marketing and sales support
Serve as the primary point of contact for locating, organizing, and managing sales and marketing assets

What We’re Looking For

5+ years of experience in foodservice marketing, brand management, sales enablement, or commercial marketing within food manufacturing
Experience supporting B2B foodservice sales organizations preferred
Strong PowerPoint, presentation strategy, and content development skills
Ability to translate product features, market insights, and sales priorities into compelling customer-facing stories
Experience managing projects and outside creative/design resources
Strong organizational, project management, and communication skills
Comfortable operating in a highly collaborative, fast-paced environment with evolving priorities
Ability to bring structure, initiative, and leadership to a newly created role

Competitive compensation plus comprehensive healthcare coverage, 401(k) with company match, and opportunities for advancement within a respected, growth-oriented organization.
