Warehouse Manager & Sales Assistant
Street Vision Foods – St. Louis Park, MN
Full-Time Position | Hourly or Salary (depending on experience and fit)
Love Food? Love Organization? Not Afraid to Walk Into a Busy Kitchen?
Street Vision Foods is looking for a Warehouse Manager & Sales Assistant who can keep our warehouse organized, our communication flowing, and our sales team moving forward.
This isn't your typical warehouse job, and it isn't your typical sales job. Think of it as a unique combination of inventory management, culinary support, food show execution, and restaurant sales. One minute you're organizing product inventory, the next you're helping prepare samples for a chef event, and later you're introducing yourself to a restaurant chef through a good old-fashioned cold call.
If you've worked as a Sous Chef, Executive Chef, Kitchen Manager, or seasoned restaurant professional and have been curious about the business side of foodservice, this could be the perfect opportunity.
Our long-term goal is to develop this role into a full-time outside sales position for the right candidate.
You will report directly to the owner and work closely with our team of seven sales professionals.

And yes... occasionally you'll need to work with a few high-maintenance chefs. Fortunately, you've probably been one before.

The ideal candidate is highly organized, communicates exceptionally well, and enjoys building relationships.
