Ideally, you are someone who likes to travel, engage with customers and accounts alike, is self-motivated, and can take proactive initiative.

Hours: This position is full-time with generous flexibility. While this is mainly a position based on regular working hours, there are also opportunities for weekend and evening events. 

Location: This is primarily a remote position. There are several events throughout the year that will require travel and a good candidate should be able to remain productive and organized from the road. 

Duties and Responsibilities

• Wholesale Organization - You will be responsible for communicating with and between our existing sales reps, wholesale partners, customers, and producers. This will require an ongoing dialogue, management and tracking for each group.
• Sales Planning - Develop and execute regional and city-by-city sales plans to match the company’s annual objectives. Maintain a current accounts target list to support continued and quality growth. Organize and facilitate regular check-ins and sales development meetings with established customers.
• Forecasting and ordering - You will assist with the analysis of historical sales data and current trends to support sales plans and quarterly wholesale forecasting.
• Communication - Support sales plan by effectively and professionally communicating with sales accounts via email, phone, and in person. Communicate about current and in progress sales with the internal team. Provide feedback about sales trends, opportunities, customer satisfaction, and recommendations to internal teams. Participate in monthly sales performance, forecast, and growth reviews.
• Capabilities - You must be able to effectively use QuickBooks to invoice customers, track and communicate about customer account status’, evaluate sales data, and forecast. You must be able to review inventories, manage products, and track DTC sales within Shopify. You must be able to track, maintain, and build on existing and new spreadsheets in Google Workspace and Microsoft Office.
• Events - PSI participates in a variety of bike events, ski events, music events, etc., across the US. These are great wholesale and custom lead opportunities. You will be responsible for identifying and organizing meetings with potential brands and customers in conjunction with these events. While many events are focused on DTC sales, it is important that we create, grow, and support wholesale partnerships in unison and in important regions. For this, you can expect to drive, fly, assist the events team, and be a brand ambassador everywhere you go. 
• AND SO MUCH MORE!

The Candidate

You should come with a comprehensive understanding of sales. Marketing and outdoor experience is a plus. But more than anything you should be outgoing, well-spoken, well-written, and incredibly personable in and out of the office. You need to know how to use the Google and Apple suites. Organization is essential to this role. Improving and developing procedures and processes to accurately track orders, progress, and maintain inventory, should feel second nature to you. You should have some experience with Quickbooks, Shopify, Klaviyo, and social media platforms. You should have a driver's license and own an overnight bag.

This position will require you to work with apparel brands, outdoor brands (bike, ski, raft, and outdoor related or adjacent brands), beer brands, music and entertainment brands, and more. You should have a knowledge of these industries but also be ready to expand our reach to other categories. You live anywhere, but you get a leg up in this hiring process if you live in Salt Lake City, UT or Portland, OR.

Pay

This position is salaried. A base pay of $45,000- 55,000/year with an additional 6% sales commission on all incoming sales. Other perks include a company expense card, flexible schedules, amazing trips and events, PTO, subsidized health insurance, and working with some real psychopaths.
