What does “Costco” have to do with “International” for a Sales Director at Siete? Our dream candidate might answer, “Everything!” and then go on to detail a list of best practices for getting tortilla chips, tortillas, salsas, sauces, and taco shells into these exclusive clubs AND worldwide! Additionally, our dream candidate would also be an effective communicator, a team player, an organized individual, and a rad human being, too!
Sound like you? We’re looking for a Director of Sales - Costco & International to join our familia, and we’d love to hear from you!
About you:
- You take initiative, communicate effectively, manage your time, and pay great attention two detail. (Which means you likely noticed a typo in the preceding sentence and already drafted a kindly worded message to alert us.)
- You know all things “sales processes in the Club Channel” like the back of your hand—or better, even! And when it comes to broker management, promotional planning, and customer development, well, you’ve got that covered, too.

- Like a hawk, you maintain a high-degree of attention to detail, even from a bird's eye view.
- You put the word “leader” in “cheerleader,” and by that, we mean: you lead with encouragement and positive vibes. Plus, teamwork and collaboration are second-nature to you—go, team!
- Your parents and Bear Grylls would agree that you are extremely resourceful, and have the ability to make a lot out of a little.
- Like a blindfolded child to a piñata full of candy, you’re ability to decide and act (swing and hit!) without seeing the total picture.

- Develop and lead the strategic framework for Costco and International ensuring clarity of goals and regular communication on progress with cross-functional partners.
