Territory Eyewear Representative – Indiana

Independent 1099 Contractor | Commission-Based | Freedom Meets Opportunity

Are you ready to represent some of the most exciting independent eyewear brands in the industry? We’re looking for a passionate, competitive, and self-motivated Territory Eyewear Representative to grow our presence across the state of Indiana.

At OGI Eyewear, we believe in Independence for Independents. As a founding member of The Optical Foundry, we’ve proudly championed boutique luxury eyewear for more than 25 years. Our expanding portfolio, now including Article One and SCOJO NYC 212, brings together craftsmanship, creativity, and authenticity for independent optical retailers and distributors worldwide.

Now, we’re looking for a dynamic sales professional who shares our spirit, someone who thrives on connecting with people, building genuine relationships, and driving growth through storytelling and style.

What You’ll Do

• Develop and nurture relationships with independent optical retailers in your territory.
• Create and execute innovative sales strategies that make an impact.
• Generate and follow up on leads, always hunting for new opportunities.
• Forecast and meet (or exceed!) your sales targets with confidence.
• Be the face of The Optical Foundry in your region, showcasing our brands with pride and passion.

What We’re Looking For

• Proven success in sales with a record of exceeding goals.
• A self-starter who’s motivated, personable, and fearless in the field.
• Excellent communication and negotiation skills; you know how to connect and close.
• Comfortable traveling within and beyond your assigned territory.
• Tech-savvy (iOS proficiency a plus).

Why Join Us

You’ll represent brands that stand for something: craftsmanship, creativity, and independence. You’ll also have the support of a passionate in-house team based in Minneapolis, MN, who share your drive to see customers succeed.

This is more than a sales role, it’s an opportunity to build lasting relationships, represent brands that matter, and help shape the future of independent eyewear. If that sounds like your kind of challenge, we’d love to hear from you.
