Wholesale Sales Manager - Local Chocolate Company

Hawaii, Hawaii, 96801 Hawaii USA

Vacancy caducado!

OUR COMPANY:

Lonohana Estate Chocolate is one of Hawaii’s leading tree-to-bar chocolate makers, passionate about creating high-quality, Hawaii-grown artisanal chocolate products. We grow cacao on the North Shore and produce our chocolate using traditional methods at our factory in Kaka’ako.

Through our tree to bean to bar enterprise we are helping restore Hawaiiʻs ʻāina through regenerative agroforestry while contributing to a sustainable and equitable industry for Hawaiʻi. At our factory in Honolulu we share with guests how world-class chocolate is being grown & made right here in Hawaii.

POSITION OVERVIEW:

We are seeking a professional, self-motivated and enthusiastic team player to join our team and work full-time as our Wholesale Sales Manager. The ideal candidate will have a passion for local food (hopefully chocolate) with previous experience in sales with a drive to meet and beat ambitious sales targets. You will take over responsibilities for our current wholesale account relationships and are expected to lead all aspects of establishing and growing new opportunities.

We are a small but growing company and this position requires someone who is flexible, a self-starter, enjoys working with others, and someone who knows how to multitask and problem solve. Having a sense of urgency and delivering the highest quality of customer service is essential. While based out of the factory this position requires a lot of time in-person with clients, occasional nights and weekends but also allows for some remote administrative tasks.

You might come from another industry, but if you have a high level of professionalism, enjoy working closely with a similarly dedicated team, are exceptionally organized, and want to have fun while working hard and making a difference in Hawaii’s agricultural community, we would like to meet you.

REQUIREMENTS:

● Excellent communication and interpersonal skills with the ability to engage and connect with diverse audiences.

● Strong organizational skills to plan and execute sales strategy.

● Enthusiastic and passionate about promoting locally made products and able to convey this enthusiasm to customers.

● Work closely with the marketing and direct sales teams to enhance product offerings and collaborate towards overall team targets

● Work creatively with Lonohana’s founders to expand the vision of what the company can achieve including new product development
