  • Share your expertise on commodity seasons and crop statuses with teams to optimize product availability.
  • Contribute insights into the company’s quarterly Business & Crop Highlights report for customers.
  • Represent the company at trade shows and during customer/supplier visits.


You Have:

  • 8+ years of experience of global sourcing and supplier management, in South America, of fruits and/or vegetables. Frozen produce is preferred.

  • Exceptional communication, negotiation, and presentation skills.


Note: You must be authorized to work in the United States now and in the future without sponsorship.


Travel: This position requires up to 20% domestic and international travel.


Compensation & Benefits:

  • Competitive salary range: Up to $180,000 annually - FOR THE HIGHER END OF THE RANGE, CANDIDATES MUST HAVE FROZEN FOOD EXPERIENCE. Annual bonus.
  • Comprehensive benefits package including medical, dental, vision, life, and disability insurance.
  • 401(k) retirement plan with a 3% company contribution.
  • Generous paid time off: 15 vacation days, 5 sick days, and 10 holidays annually.
  • Opportunities for community outreach and 40 hours of paid volunteer time each year.
  • Career development initiatives, employee referral bonuses, and frozen food reimbursements.
