About Us

We’re a fast-growing pet wellness company revolutionizing premium pet food and supplies, trusted by 500K+ households across North America. As we scale into mass-market channels, we are seeking a channel-savvy Sales Manager with deep relationships in US / Canada’s Food, Drugs, and Mass (FDM) retail ecosystems—particularly Walmart, Costco, Target, Fred Meyer, Walgreens, and regional grocers. Your mission : unlock exponential growth by leveraging your network, crafting tailored strategies, and driving category-leading partnerships.

Key Responsibilities :

Channel Strategy & Execution

  • Own end-to-end sales for FDM channels (Walmart, Costco, etc.), developing go-to-market plans that align with retailer priorities (e.g., holiday campaigns, brand pitches, shelf optimization).
  • Negotiate distribution, pricing, and promotional terms, ensuring profitability while meeting retailer KPIs.
  • Partner with product teams to curate channel-specific assortments and lead new item launches

Relationships & Resource Leverage

  • Leverage existing C-suite / merchandising contacts at target retailers to accelerate partnerships
  • Cultivate long-term loyalty through proactive account management : quarterly business reviews (QBRs), joint marketing initiatives (e.g., in-store demos), and crisis resolution (e.g., supply chain disruptions).
  • Identify whitespace opportunities and pilot test new formats (e.g., co-branded vet clinics).
  • Data-Driven Performance

  • Track sales trends via retailer POS data and CRM (HubSpot), adjusting strategies to outpace competitors.
  • Forecast quarterly / annual targets, ensuring attainment through pipeline management and distributor oversight.
  • Team Leadership & Collaboration

  • Partner with marketing on shopper insights and supply chain on inventory resilience.
  • What You Bring

  • Channel Mastery : 7+ years in FDM sales, with proven success landing / expanding accounts like Walmart, Costco, or Target
  • Pet Passion : Deep understanding of pet food / drug trends (e.g., functional ingredients, holistic wellness) and a track record of translating shopper insights into shelf wins.
  • Network & Negotiation : Existing relationships with decision-makers at 2+ target retailers (e.g., Walmart’s pet category lead, Costco’s West Coast buyer).
  • Strategic Agility : Ability to pivot quickly—e.g., shifting from Costco’s club packs to Walgreens’ grab-and-go pouches during a recession.
  • Bonus Points

  • Built a pet brand’s FDM presence from $0 to $10M+ in revenue.
  • Familiarity with retailer-specific programs (e.g., Walmart’s Spark Delivery, Costco’s Roadshow Events).
  • HICC America Corp. is an Equal Opportunity Employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to status as a protected veteran or a qualified individual with a disability, or other protected status such as race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin or age.
