Sales Account Manager — Upper Midwest

Wholesale Grocery & Convenience Store Channel · Remote · Full-Time · Regional & National Travel

About DSS Distributing

DSS Distributing is a strategic sales and distribution partner for Bon Appetit Gourmet Pastries and Big Russ Beer Cheese. We operate a disciplined wholesale growth system built on strong customer relationships, expanding distribution, and long-term success.

About the Role

We're looking for an experienced wholesale rep to take over and grow an established multi-state book across the Upper Midwest — including a large multi-warehouse anchor account. This is a manage-and-grow role for someone who can hold a big territory, keep strong relationships humming, and push distribution forward, backed by our structured CLEARPATH system and a leadership team with decades of experience.

What You'll Do

• Own and grow an established base of wholesaler and distributor accounts using our CLEARPATH sales framework
• Drive distribution, new-item placement, and promotional execution across the convenience store channel
• Manage a multi-state territory with strong organization and follow-through
• Partner with our home office on programs, promotions, and strategic account planning
• Collaborate with leadership on growth initiatives and market opportunities
• Travel the region to keep relationships and execution strong

Who You Are

This is not an entry-level position — you'll need real wholesale sales experience to hit the ground running. But think of it as a launchpad for your career, not a landing zone. We're looking for someone hungry to build something and grow with us, not to coast on past wins.

• 3+ years of sales experience and 2+ years of wholesale sales experience
• Experience in food, CPG, beverage, grocery, or retail sales preferred
• Proven ability to hold and grow an established, multi-state book of business
• Organized, relationship-driven, and comfortable managing a large territory
• Able to work independently in a remote environment
• Based near a regional hub (Omaha, Des Moines, Minneapolis, or Chicago) preferred; willing to travel

What We Offer

• Competitive salary-based compensation
• A clear path for career growth and advancement
• Regular performance reviews and professional development
• Full-time remote position
• A supportive team focused on growth and success
