Sr Sales Manager - Costco

About you:

You take initiative, communicate effectively, manage your time, and pay great attention two detail. (Which means you likely noticed a typo in the preceding sentence and already drafted a kindly worded message to alert us.)

You know all things “sales processes in the Club Channel” like the back of your hand—or better, even! And when it comes to broker management, promotional planning, and customer development, well, you’ve got that covered, too.

Whether on the phone, over email, or in a presentation, your communication is clear as a crystal...and a very shiny crystal, at that.

Like a hawk, you maintain a high degree of attention to detail, even from a bird's-eye view.

You put the word “leader” in “cheerleader,” and by that, we mean: you lead with encouragement and positive vibes. Plus, teamwork and collaboration are second nature to you—go, team!

Your parents and Bear Grylls would agree that you are extremely resourceful and have the ability to make a lot out of a little.

Like a blindfolded child to a piñata full of candy, you’re able to decide and act (swing and hit!) without seeing the total picture.

You have big goals, but no problem is too small for you to lend a helping hand.

Problem-solving is your idea of a fun pastime—especially when you’ve got a taco in hand.

Contribute to the strategic framework for Costco, inclusive of product strategy and annual planning, ensuring clarity of goals and regular communication on progress with internal partners.

Communicate sales plan updates and planning metrics to key stakeholders such as Finance, Operations, and Marketing.
