Merchant Development Manager - CPG
SnackMagic, United States
Job Description
About SnackMagic:
SnackMagic is a global snack and swag gifting service. Our unique edge is our signature build-your-own/customizable snack stash concept. Through SnackMagic, corporate organizers are able to use our easy-to-use platform to provide mood-boosting gifts to delight groups of 5-20,000.
We’re a product-first ambitious team that’s obsessed with a united vision for taking our business to new heights, and we're a true pandemic pivot story. We transformed from a solid New York City-based corporate lunch service, called STADIUM, whose trajectory was thrown off-course given the changing dynamic of working on-site to working at-home, and have since never looked back. SnackMagic today has outpaced years of STADIUM's growth due to our agile team and ability to pioneer a new way to bring companies together in a changing world.
As a rapidly growing company, we are looking for a Merchant Development Manager. In this role, you will be responsible for full-cycle management of our CPG (consumer packaged goods: snack, beverage, pantry) brand partners: sourcing, onboarding, procuring, promoting, and delisting. You will be at the exciting forefront of seeing our portfolio scale, while delighting our global customers, and providing a continuous value-add to our innovative brands. Most importantly, you will be central to reinforcing our company culture.
SnackMagic is based in New York City, but this would be a remote position.
This is a contract-to-hire role, to be evaluated for a full-time role after 3 months. This hire will report to the company's Head of Merchant Development.
