About this job
Looking to break into a Fortune 500 company? Do you have an entrepreneurial mindset that will help you excel in sales, merchandising and the analytical aspects related to product on the retail shelf? In the U.S., Nestle Purina is the number one pet care company in sales, volume and market share. And as of December 2013, we've achieved 10 consecutive years of improved sales and profit. In this role as a Territory Manager, you'll work to generate incremental sales, optimize shelf and store conditions, identify and close distribution opportunities, increase inventory and foster long-standing relationships with some of our partners, including Petco and PetSmart within our Pet Specialty Group (PSG).
As an industry leader with some of the most trusted brands on the retail shelf, your customers will turn to you, as the subject matter expert, to lead the march in achieving top sales goals. You'll manage your given territory like your own business. However, you'll work cohesively and collaboratively with your customers and fellow Purina teammates to drive home the real reason you're here -- to help us set the industry standard in customer service and remain a leader in pet care. This role will successfully lead into sales analytics, account management and analyst roles. Join a high-performing team that will support your career growth and encourage you to continuously improve. Our culture always challenges us to think "What's Next?" So if your full potential could be unleashed, what would you add to the mix?
