Part-Time Director of Food Service Sales

Are you a seasoned food service sales professional looking to make a meaningful impact in the world of sustainable food? Atlantic Sea Farms (ASF) is pioneering a better future—one kelp strand at a time—and we want you on our team. ASF isn't just about seaweed. We're about rebuilding coastal communities, fighting climate change, and transforming the future of food. As our Part-Time Director of Food Service Sales, you'll play a pivotal role in scaling our presence across the U.S. foodservice industry by bringing our award-winning, domestically grown kelp products to more tables nationwide.

🌱 About the Role:

This is a strategic, high-impact part-time role (5–10 hours/week) perfect for an experienced sales leader ready to drive revenue while championing sustainability. You’ll lead the charge in expanding our food service channel, focusing on independent restaurants, fast-casual chains, sushi outlets, universities, and other institutional partners. You’ll work directly with our COO and Sales Strategist, while collaborating closely with our in-house Business Development Representative.

🪸 Key Responsibilities:

  • Drive sales growth by developing and executing a nationwide food service sales strategy.
  • Build and maintain relationships with distributors, restaurant groups, fast-casual chains, and institutional food buyers.
  • Leverage your existing network to generate leads and close deals.
  • Run high-impact client meetings and transform opportunities into signed POs.
  • Expand our distribution footprint through new and existing channels.
  • Champion our mission by introducing ocean-friendly products that support resilient coastal economies.
  • Provide excellent customer service and help cultivate long-term partnerships.
  • Collaborate across departments to align sales strategies with broader business goals.

🌾 What We're Looking For:

  • 10+ years in food and beverage sales, with deep food service experience
  • Strong industry network and established relationships with key decision-makers
  • Track record of selling into sushi, seafood, or fast-casual segments
  • Proven success setting up and scaling distribution networks
  • Strategic thinker who’s also willing to roll up their sleeves
  • Experience in high-growth, mission-driven food businesses
  • Excellent communication, leadership, and team-building skills
  • Ability to travel as needed
  • Passion for sustainability and ASF’s mission

☀️ You’ll Thrive in This Role If You Are:

  • Relentlessly driven to exceed sales goals
  • Resourceful and solutions-oriented in a fast-paced, evolving environment
  • Comfortable working both independently and collaboratively
  • Budget-conscious, creative, and mission-aligned
  • Positive, energetic, and adaptable—with a great sense of humor and humility

💸 Compensation:

  • Base: $3,500/month for 5–10 hours per week
  • Incentives: Sales commission and performance bonuses

Ready to help us change the way the world eats—and support our oceans and communities while doing it?
