Producer Sales Specialist

Who We Are
Navore Market is a start-up focused on creating a local farm produce sales and distribution service in San Diego County. We are deploying a user-friendly platform for local family farms and Cottage Foods Operations (local producers) to bring them into the digital world and make their business more productive. Navore is employing different distribution methods to get local farm products into the hands of customers and create new avenues for sales for local producers.
Navore is looking for an energetic self-starter who has a love for locally produced foods and a desire to create change in the B to C marketplace. This is a start-up, so we are looking for you to evolve and grow with us. If you’re looking for a work environment that’s different from your typical 9-5 then we are excited to meet you!
The Producer Sales Specialist will work closely with the Sales Team Lead to establish recruiting methods for our producers. These early connects will be key in the success of Navore, so authentic relationship building is a must.  You will work independently in onboarding producers to use Navore’s services while also working in a team to determine the best tactics to help local producers run their business. This role would best fit a social, community-oriented individual who has a passion for local farm products.
