Company description

Food Matters Again is a specialized importer/distributor servicing the NY metro area and Southern New England. Our main category of business is with fine cheeses and charcuterie - but we also host an ever evolving mix of fresh olives, cheese accompaniments, and rarer specialty food items. Founded in late 2009, we focus primarily on independent retailers and continue to develop a strong trade in our niche as we enter the new year ahead. In fact our expanded headquarters enable a growth strategy for the coming years and this position is a part of that plan. 

Job description

In short, our company is seeking to hire a new sales person to join our team. At present we have a team of five servicing our territories and customers - but this hire is to join our New York office with a focus on foodservice accounts in the NY Metro area in general. 

Growing into a full sales role at our company will involve hosting tastings for key accounts at our main tasting room, some focused work with product in the field and finally carefully planned and executed sample boxes from headquarters delivered on the orders. Most importantly it involves overseeing the weekly management of the orders for assigned customer accounts. Additionally the work involves managing the calendar for many over-whelmed buyers to help them track all the various preorders and Air shipments, etc.  

We have trained and are willing to train again for this position - the most essential aspect here is a truly passionate monger who thirsts to learn more. And who loves talking with other mongers about the business of cheese. Our ideal is a candidate with strong knowledge base, good experience buying as well as running a counter, the first being the most important.  

The ideal candidate for this job also has excellent organizational skills and a genuine comfort and accuracy working with numbers. Our industry is one in which suppliers like us are expected get the paperwork and orders correct -  precision with the details is what our customers want from us. 

Please note - compensation involves a base salary as well as commission on both existing and new accounts management. Plus the company gives annual bonuses based on performance.
