Welcome to Our Place. We believe that sharing a home-cooked meal is the very best way to connect. That’s why we create products that simplify home-cooking; it’s why we celebrate traditions with families given, chosen, and found; and it’s why we share those stories with you, directly from the people and places where they originate.
We're looking for a Global Senior B2B Account Manager to join our team and lead our wholesale efforts specifically with our Target, Selfridges, Nordstrom, and other large department store and e-commerce accounts. In this high-impact role, you'll drive account growth through strategic partnerships, lead operational initiatives, and ensure the successful delivery of product assortment and marketing plans. If you have experience managing key retail accounts at scale, with a focus on Target and other major department stores, and you're passionate about growing a fast-paced business, we'd love to connect!
We have a hybrid working culture and are looking for this person to be on site 2-3 times a week at our brand new Our Place headquarters in West Los Angeles.
