This role is fully remote. Preferred geography is California (NoCal or SoCal).

What you will do...

• Own the day-to-day relationship with assigned Pacific & Regional Distributors in geography — DSR engagement, category management contacts, regional procurement, and operations leadership.

• Drive distribution growth and item placement across the regional distributor base — new item sell-in, distribution gap closure, and ride-along execution with distributor DSRs.

• Coordinate broker priorities and execution activity across assigned distributors to improve whitespace conversion, DSR engagement, and program activation.

• Apply the segmentation framework (Accelerate / Grow / Sustain / Maintain) at the distributor and operator-pull-through level — concentrate effort against the highest-return regional distributors and their operator bases.

• Build and maintain relationships with operator-pull-through targets that the regional distributors serve — food shows, key operator visits, and joint distributor-operator engagements.

• Identify new distribution opportunities within the regional distributor universe; drive pipeline conversion in partnership with the Senior Manager, Broker and Distributor Execution.

• Use distributor reporting to identify whitespace opportunities and prioritize selling activity.

• Maintain visibility to pipeline health, distribution gains/losses, promotional impacts, and customer risks within the assigned distributor portfolio; provide forecast updates to the RBM on cadence.

• Maintain accurate customer activity, pipeline, distribution, and opportunity updates within CRM and reporting tools.

• Partner with the Senior Manager, Broker and Distribution Execution on regional execution of national broadline contracts where regional distributors operate alongside Sysco/USF in the same geography.

• Leverage NA Sales Operations for analytics, broker network support where applicable, and trade governance; partner with Marketing on regional demand generation programs.
