Sales Account Manager - CPG Imported Candy Company

About the Role Bites By Sweden is an authentic, “better-for-you” Swedish gummy candy brand growing fast in the U.S. market. We're currently in over 10,000 retail and grocery stores, on Amazon, FAIRE, and distributed through KeHE and UNFI. We're looking for a part-time Sales Broker / Account Manager to help us grow our footprint in grocery and convenience store accounts — identifying, pitching, and managing relationships with retail partners who are the right fit for the brand. This is a part-time, flexible engagement well-suited to an independent sales broker or rep who already has relationships in the grocery/c-store space, or a CPG sales professional looking for part-time work managing a defined channel. What You'll Do • Identify and prioritize grocery and convenience store accounts (regional chains, independent grocers, c-store groups, distributors) as strong potential partners for the brand • Conduct outreach to retail buyers and decision-makers — cold outreach, follow-up, and relationship-building • Pitch Bites By Sweden's product line, positioning, and category fit (better-for-you candy) • Manage the sales pipeline for these accounts from first contact through onboarding • Serve as the ongoing point of contact for accounts you bring on — managing the relationship, reorders, and basic account health • Report on pipeline status, account activity, and results on a regular cadence • Collaborate with the Bites By Sweden team on pricing, promotions, and account-specific needs What We're Looking For • Experience in retail CPG sales — grocery and/or convenience store channel experience strongly preferred (food, candy, snacks, or beverage background a plus, but not required) • Comfortable doing outbound outreach and cold-pitching retail buyers • Existing relationships with grocery or c-store buyers/distributors are a big plus, but not a dealbreaker — we're open to someone who's sharp, resourceful, and coachable even without deep category expertise • Self-directed and comfortable managing your own pipeline with light oversight • Strong communicator — clear, professional, responsive • Comfortable working part-time/remote with occasional check-ins (we use Monday.com, WhatsApp, and Google Workspace) Engagement Details • Type: Part-time, ongoing (contract/broker arrangement) • Hours: 10–15 hours/week • Location: Remote, U.S.-based preferred (accounts are U.S. grocery/convenience retail) • Compensation: Fixed monthly fee plus commission on new accounts/sales • Reports to: Bites by Sweden leadership team
