Red Kite Recruiting
Vice President of Retail Sales
Red Kite Recruiting, Garner, North Carolina, United States, 27529
Overview
We’re partnering with one of the most iconic names in the meat industry to identify a
VP of Retail Sales
(East)
to lead their branded retail channel strategy across the Eastern U.S. This is a high-impact, high-visibility role ideal for a seasoned sales leader ready to take on national retail accounts, manage broker relationships, and drive strategic growth initiatives.
Why This Role Stands Out
Legacy Meets Momentum:
This brand has deep roots in American households and strong brand recognition at retail. With recent competitor exits, the company is poised for explosive growth.
Leadership Role:
You’ll oversee a national retail portfolio and a team of Sales Directors, reporting directly to the SVP of Sales.
East Coast Influence:
This is a remote role and we’re targeting candidates based in the Eastern U.S., ideally near a major airport hub.
What You’ll Own:
Lead and execute the national retail sales strategy for branded products
Manage broker networks and direct customer relationships with major retail accounts
Partner with Marketing, Finance, and Supply Chain teams to deliver margin and volume growth
Expand shelf space, introduce new items, and strengthen customer relationships across banners
Forecast, budget, and lead annual planning cycles
What We’re Looking For
10+ years in CPG retail sales, preferably within fresh or frozen protein categories
Direct experience managing large-scale grocery and mass retail accounts (e.g., Kroger, Ahold, BJ\'s, Albertsons, Publix, Wakefern)
Proven leadership experience with national broker management and retail sales teams
Strong background in syndicated data (IRI, Nielsen) and trade strategy
Strategic thinker with high executional discipline
