Sales Analyst
Full-time · Traverse City
The Sales Analyst is the planning and data hub for our sales team. You’ll build and manage shelf sets (planograms) for chain and independent accounts, keep pricing and product information accurate, run reports, manage our sales apps and help train new team members. You’ll work closely with Sales Managers and Team Leads to plan and schedule store resets, and you’ll make sure the right products, displays and pricing show up in every store we serve. If you like spreadsheets as much as seeing your work on a real store shelf, you’ll fit right in.
