Job description

Come join us as we grow!

At Ben E. Keith Company, our legacy is strong—and our future is even stronger.

For more than a century, we’ve been leaders in fine food and premium beverage distribution, known for delivering excellence and building lasting partnerships.

Today, our Food Division spans multiple states, and our Beverage Division brings top beverage brands to communities across Texas.

But what truly sets us apart is our commitment to people. We invest in our employees, empower growth, and create opportunities to make an impact—because when our people succeed, so do our customers and our business. Since 1906, that’s been our promise.

Are you ready to transform credit management from a back-office function to a strategic growth driver? We're seeking a Credit Manager who sees beyond traditional collections and credit management to the bigger picture of business enablement. This role is in office 5 days a week in Missouri City, Texas.

Our Credit team doesn't just manage risk—we optimize it. We don't just collect payments—we create positive customer experiences. We understand that appropriate risk doesn't mean zero risk, and that true success comes from partnering with sales to enable growth while maintaining financial discipline.

In this role, you'll lead a team focused on four strategic pillars:

• Optimizing risk through informed, data-driven decisions
• Contributing to growth as a solutions-oriented partner
• Creating positive customer experiences built on trust and timely support
• Guiding an efficient sales-to-cash cycle through proactive systems

If you're tired of being seen as the "sales prevention department" and want to be valued as a strategic business partner, this is your opportunity to make a real impact.

• Competitive salary with bonus potential
• Comprehensive benefits package
• Stable, family-owned company with strong values
• Opportunity to shape credit strategy for a major distribution center
• Work-life balance in a collaborative environment

We offer employees the opportunity to make a meaningful impact in collaborative, results-driven environments supported by competitive benefits, including:

• Medical, Dental, Vision & Life Insurance
• 401(k) with Company Match + 100% Company-Paid Profit Sharing
