At CJ Schwan's, we don't just make food - we help create moments that matter.

Our portfolio includes iconic pizzas, global flavors, and timeless desserts from brands like Red Baron®, bibigo®, Tony's®, Big Daddy's®, Freschetta®, Pagoda®, Edwards® and Mrs. Smith's®. Enjoyed in homes, schools, restaurants and just about everywhere people shop and eat, our products reflect a commitment to quality, innovation, and the power of food to bring people together.

Lead cross-functional initiatives with Sales, Marketing, Category Management, Commodity, and Operations to deliver business results.

Manage customer investments, trade spending, and T&E budgets to maximize ROI.

Represent the company at customer events, industry conferences, and State School Nutrition Association meetings while expanding market presence.

Champion alignment and execution of enterprise K-12 priorities across regions.

What We Look For:

Bachelor's degree (or equivalent experience) with 10+ years of progressive sales experience in foodservice, K-12, or food manufacturing.

Proven success developing customer growth strategies and leading cross-functional initiatives that deliver measurable business results.

Strong financial acumen with experience in forecasting, pricing, and profitability management.

Exceptional relationship-building, negotiation, and executive communication skills.
