Job summary

SuperPaw, a Korean pet health brand, is entering the US with its first hire to own retail partnerships, distributor development, and trade show execution. You will work directly with the founder & CEO to scale US presence, including Chewy and other major retailers.

We are seeking a hands-on leader with a track record closing retail deals, 4+ years in a US consumer brand, and the ability to travel across the US (and occasional trips to Korea) to drive strategic partnerships and field growth.

Qualifications

• A track record of personally closing retail placements or B2B partnership deals (any scale).
• 4+ years at a US consumer brand (CPG) — sales, retail/wholesale BD, account management, or field marketing.
• Hands-on experience with retail buyers, distributors, or marketplace vendor teams.
• A self-starter who builds structure where none exists — the mindset of an employee #1.

• Own key marketplace and retail partner relationships, including Chewy — vendor communications and in-person meetings.
• Join and drive meetings with pet specialty retailers and regional chains (e.g., Petco, PetSmart) — from securing the meeting through launch, key meetings with the CEO.
• Boutique / independent retail sales (email and cold-call prospecting handled by Korea HQ).
• Identify, negotiate with, and build our distributor network (none today — strategy set with the CEO, execution owned by you).
• Plan and run pop-up events, demos, and trade shows (SuperZoo, Global Pet Expo, etc.) with the Korea HQ team.
• Research and engage US manufacturers as needed (all products currently made in Korea).
• Recruit and manage the US field team — team building alongside the CEO.
