Requirements - Develop and execute national grocery strategy to deliver sales, profit, distribution, and market share objectives. - Build and maintain senior-level relationships with key grocery customers, wholesalers, and strategic partners. - Lead annual business planning, Joint Business Plans (JBPs), customer negotiations, and strategic growth initiatives. - Identify opportunities to expand distribution, optimize assortment, and accelerate velocity across existing and emerging accounts. - Partner with Finance to ensure profitable growth through effective pricing, trade investment, and promotional strategy. - Represent the voice of the customer internally, ensuring their needs are reflected in business decisions and growth plans. - Build, structure, and manage Lucky Energy's broker network by recruiting the right partners, setting expectations, and holding them accountable. - Optimize broker performance by market; identify gaps and make swift decisions on partnerships. - Develop broker incentive structures, communication cadences, and execution standards that drive consistent field results. - Lead customer planning processes including annual operating plans, promotional calendars, forecasting, and trade investment management. - Drive best-in-class execution of new item launches, promotional programs, merchandising initiatives, and seasonal activations. - Monitor sales performance, market trends, and forecast accuracy to proactively identify risks and opportunities. - Partner with Supply Chain and Demand Planning to optimize service levels, inventory, and customer fill rates. - Leverage syndicated, retailer, and internal analytics to identify growth opportunities and inform strategic decisions. - Translate data into actionable recommendations that improve account performance and strengthen category leadership. - Lead business reviews and executive presentations with compelling, insight-driven storytelling. - Monitor competitive activity and market dynamics to ensure Lucky Energy remains positioned for sustainable growth. - Collaborate with Marketing, Category Management, Finance, Supply Chain, and Operations to deliver integrated customer strategies. - Influence internal stakeholders to align resources, priorities, and investments behind key growth opportunities. - Bring a cross-functional mindset to everything. Benefits - Competitive base salary. - Performance-based bonus tied to distribution, velocity, and revenue milestones. - Equity participation…you'll own a piece of what you build. - Health, dental, vision, and leave benefits. - Flexible remote-first environment; travel ~30% to accounts, broker partners, and HQ. - Monthly Lucky Energy product allowance (obviously).
