• Practical experience working with retailers, distributors, brokers, or field merchandising teams.
• Ability to analyze point-of-sale and distribution data and distinguish an execution problem from a demand or supply problem.

• Coordinate with brand teams, brokers, merchandisers, distributors, and retailer contacts to resolve issues and confirm completion.
• Create account and store scorecards tracking distribution, on-shelf availability, sales velocity, promotional execution, and reorder performance.
• Translate execution playbooks into AI-assisted monitoring, task prioritization, and follow-up workflows; validate recommendations against store and account context.

About Us

Overjoy is an AI-native sales company for SMBs. We began as a sales platform for consumer brands, then expanded to running the full sales process end-to-end and selling the outcome.

Every consumer brand needs a wholesale department: someone to find the right retailers, reach out, close the account, and keep it reordering. For most brands that department is too expensive to hire. Overjoy runs it for them with people, AI agents, and the software we spent years building for exactly this job.

Over 800 brands like Nature's Path, Milk Bar, and Simply Gum use Overjoy to grow wholesale revenue.

We're backed by Bessemer, OSV, Floodgate and founders of Thumbtack, CareRev, Ando, and Unsupervised — and 6 of our own customers invested after using the product.

About the Role

This is a full-time, in-person role based in New York City.

Winning a retail account is only the beginning. Products still need to reach the right stores, stay on shelf, support promotions, and earn the next reorder. You'll work directly with consumer brands to make that happen.

You'll own retail execution programs across customer engagements, connecting brand teams, brokers, distributors, and field partners. Alongside product and engineering, you'll turn store-level signals and operating know-how into AI-assisted workflows that help brands identify problems early and follow through on the right actions.
