Job description

Since Day 1, KIND has had a vision for a kinder and healthier world. A world in which people never have to choose between what tastes good, feels good, and does good when it comes to their snacking.

Our iconic KIND® bars – made with real, recognizable ingredients – sparked the growth of an entirely new healthy snacking category back in 2004. Now, KIND has a family of more than 80 snacks that offer solutions for a variety of occasions. All of KIND's products lead with a nutrient-dense first ingredient – like nuts or whole grains – and do not contain genetically engineered ingredients, sugar alcohols or artificial sweeteners.

We’re looking for passionate collaborators to help us become the foremost leader in health & wellness and positively impact society along the way. If you’re looking to be a part of an inspiring, energetic and entrepreneurial environment, you’ve found the right place.

This role will be remote based out of Cincinnati, Ohio area. *

As the Senior Sales Analyst, Kroger, you will support the Kroger business with analytical support and sales plan entry and management across multiple divisions and categories. This role assists the team with internal and external reporting, promotional analysis, trade systems entry and maintenance, and forecasting. This position is designed to build deep expertise in supporting one of KIND’s most complex and high-visibility customers, with broad exposure across the KIND organization.

And This Is How You Will Do It…

• Serve as a key analytical contact and resource for KIND cross‑functional partners (Sales, Finance, Supply Chain, Category) and external partners, including brokers
• Provide analytical support for business initiatives across Kroger divisions, banners, and formats
• Leverage 84.51° data and Kroger reporting tools to support volume, promotional, and performance analysis
• Become a power user of KIND internal systems (TradePro, Anaplan) and Kroger item and promotion systems
• Proactively evaluate volume, trade spend, and forecast accuracy to identify and clearly explain drivers of performance swings
• Support promotional planning and post‑event analysis, including temporary price reductions, price investments, display activity, and funding optimization
• Assist in the creation of clear, insight‑driven presentation materials for internal leadership and Kroger customer meetings
• You will spend your time approximately as follows:
• Kroger reporting and 84.51° analysis: 20%

What You'll Bring To KIND

• Demonstrated experience supporting the Kroger customer in an analytical, sales, or category capacity
• Solid understanding of Kroger’s operating model, including divisions, promotional cadence, and retail math
• Working knowledge of trade promotion management and its impact on volume, margin, and customer profitability
• Experience with SKU‑level, weekly forecasting and promotional analysis
• Proven, results‑oriented mindset with the ability to translate data into insights and recommendations

You are…

• A collaborative team player who shares best practices and learns from peers
• A data‑driven thought partner who leverages insights to support account strategy
• Organized, persistent, and comfortable managing multiple workstreams in a fast‑paced customer environment
• Goal‑oriented and proactive in building relationships and credibility with internal partners
• A strong communicator, both verbally and in writing, with the ability to tailor messaging to different audiences

• Experience working with trade systems such as TradePro or similar TPM platforms
• Strong proficiency in Microsoft Excel and PowerPoint
• Ability to apply financial and analytical concepts including margins, retail math, velocities, forecasts, and promotional ROI
