Are you passionate about leading, coaching, and inspiring a team of salespeople? 

At Butternut Box, our Direct Sales team attends hundreds of events, trade shows and exhibitions to connect directly with customers and share our mission of spreading more health and happiness to dogs all over the world.

You’ll take ownership of one of our busiest and most vibrant regions, driving performance and making a real impact on the lives of dogs and their owners.

In this role, you can expect to:
