About the role

  • This role is the chief growth engine converting Diversified Botanics from a regional kratom-channel brand into a national multi-channel CPG.
  • Our existing $30M business runs almost entirely through the kratom-specialty distributor channel and smoke-shop chains.
  • The path to $120M+ runs through chain HQ authorizations and national-tier distributor relationships - neither of which currently exist in any meaningful form.

Responsibilities

  • Personally lead or co-lead buyer engagement at the top 25 c-store chains, top 10 drug chains, top 10 mass chains, and top 15 natural channel banners - personally responsible for converting buyer meetings into authorizations
  • Recruit, hire, onboard, and manage 3-5 Key Account Managers
  • lead their weekly one-on-ones, deal reviews, and pipeline progression
  • Own the velocity data, consumer pull story, competitive comparison, and SKU strategy presented at every chain category review
  • Deliver weekly pipeline review, monthly deal-stage reporting, and quarterly win/loss disposition to the CRO - you own the truth of the national accounts pipeline

Requirements

  • 12+ years in CPG sales, with 4+ years in National Account Manager or Director-of-National-Accounts roles
  • 12-18 years in CPG sales, with the last 4-6 in National Account Manager or Director-of-National-Accounts roles at challenger or category-leading brands.

Nice to have

  • Experience selling a regulated or high-scrutiny category (kratom, nicotine/OTP, CBD, energy, supplements)
  • Direct, verifiable buyer-level relationships (not broker-mediated) at major chain HQs
  • Trade math fluency: margin structures, distributor markups, promo ROI, deduction resolution
  • $150/month in Diversified Botanics products plus 50% employee discount thereafter
  • Free meals, drinks, and company celebrations
  • 401(k) with 100% match on the first 2% and 50% match on the next 4%
  • AI Proficiency & Innovation
  • AI literacy is considered a core professional capability at Diversified Botanics.

Compensation

  • Own national distributor relationships - Core-Mark, McLane, and other national-scale wholesale operators - negotiating annual terms, growth rebates, MDF, and category programming
  • Build and present annual joint business plans to each chain HQ and national distributor, including category sales targets, promotional calendars, new SKU introduction plans, and shared depletion goals

Benefits

  • 100% company-paid health premiums for employees and families
  • Mental wellness and employee support resources
  • Fitness reimbursement up to $1,000/year
  • Tuition reimbursement up to $5,250/year
