Job Description

Retail Rainmaker Wanted: AlgaeCal is scouting for a top-tier Director of Retail - someone with the vision and verve to place our brand in retail chains that make sense for high end bone health supplements.

We have lived in the direct-to-consumer online world for 20 years building a cult-like following with our unique products - and currently invest $6 million annually in digital marketing ads. Now we need your strategic mind to leverage our online spend to move our products off of retail store shelves. In a world of cheap but ineffective calcium supplements, our brand is costly but proven effective - so it will take the right approach to be successful in brick and mortar.

PLUS, if the electrifying challenge of launching the ONLY calcium clinically supported to increase bone density in adults ignites your passion; we need to connect! We hold the worldwide exclusive rights for this plant sourced calcium in a world of rock calcium, so we think there\'s a dynamic and long lasting opportunity in retail.

Can you help us develop and implement a go to retail plan? Perfect. We\'re counting on you to understand the ins and outs of the retail-supplement world just as effortlessly as Adele drops hits.

Still here? Okay then\xe2\x80\xa6

This job will give you ALL the feels:

At AlgaeCal, we\'re driven by a single idea. To end the fear of bone loss. In the United States, an estimated 54 million people have crumbling bones. And they\'re scared. Scared of fractures. Scared of breaks. And, most of all, scared of losing their independence.

The good news? AlgaeCal has the world\'s only clinically-backed natural solution to this problem. We literally reverse bone loss for thousands of frightened people. If that excites you, you\'ll find no better place to continue your career than at AlgaeCal.

You\'ll love it here:

• You\'ll be working with a great team. The B2B team at AlgaeCal have been there, done that and got the t-shirt. They\'ve closed deals with top-tier doctors. They\'ve inked contracts that weigh more than a phone book (remember those?). These folks have clinched so many deals, even Wall Street\'s wolves are taking notes. And the cherry on top? They\'re funny, friendly, and easy to work with.
• The sky\'s the limit. Forget caps on earnings. The more you close, the more you pocket. It\'s pure, unfiltered meritocracy here.

This job might be for you if you\'ve got\xe2\x80\xa6

• Proven negotiating skills. When it comes to shelf real estate, you\'ve got the Midas touch - turning every discussion into gold.
• 8+ years of retail experience in the supplement health space. From spearheading teams to boosting sales and rolling out groundbreaking products, you\'ve done it all.
• You\'re well-versed in the world of dietary supplements, understanding every fact from production pipelines to regulatory frameworks and the pulse of consumer demand.
• A brain the size of Jupiter. Data isn\'t just numbers for you; it\'s a gold mine of insights. You\'re adept at breaking down intricate datasets and leveraging business intelligence tools to craft forward-thinking strategies.
• A resume that demonstrates your prowess in dissecting financial data to uncover growth prospects, gauge the viability of fresh business endeavors, and a staunch commitment to optimizing P&L.
• A thick portfolio that demonstrates your mastery of all things retail. Sorry, but if you have to Google what an \'endcap\' is; or don\'t know what F.I.F.O. stands for, this isn\'t the position for you.

If you\'re reading this and thinking, \xe2\x80\x9cWow, that sounds exactly like me!\xe2\x80\x9d We would love to hear from you. If it doesn\'t, no worries! We\'re only seeking candidates who will immediately light up this role.
