Our client, a prominent supplier of frozen seafood products, is actively seeking a Sales Representative / Business Development professional. This role is central to the company’s expansion efforts, focusing on leveraging contacts within Retail Grocery and National Restaurant Chains to foster business growth.

The ideal candidate will possess a robust network within these sectors, although contacts need not be limited to wholesale seafood. With territories spanning a national scale, this position is tailored for an individual experienced in seafood sales and adept at developing seafood programs.

While prior knowledge of selling seafood programs is advantageous, training will be provided for those less familiar. This role is geared towards a proactive business hunter, as the individual will be responsible for generating new business rather than managing existing contacts or territories.
