VP Of Sales

We started Van Leeuwen Ice Cream in a yellow truck on the streets of NYC in 2008 with a mission to make good ice cream that makes you feel good.

Nowadays, people can spend so much time on what's "healthy" they don't stop to consider what's healthy. As far as we're concerned, happiness is healthiness. We strive to ensure every scoop, store and employee feels and creates one community to contribute to the overall brand.

You must be both strategic and operational, willing to roll up your sleeves to ensure execution but also have the wisdom and experience to lead with a focused vision and confidence.

This role reports directly to the Founders of Van Leeuwen Ice Cream and is remote anywhere in the United States.
