Position Summary

Do you love great food and great restaurants? Baldor Specialty Foods, a leader in premium food distribution, is expanding its Sales Executive Team, and we're seeking driven, food-passionate professionals who excel at building client relationships, growing accounts, developing new business, and delivering exceptional service in a fast-paced environment. In this role, you'll get to partner with some of the best chefs in the region to introduce them to great ingredients that will enhance their menus. We're looking for people who can live and breathe the stories of our products—people who can share our customers' passion for high-quality produce, meats, dairy, and specialty products. Many of our best Sales Executives have been chefs themselves, but it's certainly not a requirement.

This role offers unlimited earning potential with no caps on commission, making it the perfect opportunity for top sales performers to maximize their success, while also being surrounded by incredible food.
