2 to 4 years of B2B sales, key account management, or business development experience within the ingredient, supplement, or pharmaceutical industry.
-
Proven ability to sell technical or science-backed products in a consultative manner.
-
A strong existing network across the nutraceutical or related ingredient markets, including familiarity with distributors, key events, and prospective customers.
