About the role
Traeger is seeking a Field Sales Representative based in the Northeast to join our team in two of our brand's highest-priority markets. This is a career-building opportunity for someone who wants to develop real field sales expertise, deepen their knowledge of the outdoor cooking category, and grow within a brand that people love.
How You'll Help Us Win
- Account Management & Sell-In
- Show up to affect change on the retail floor — every visit should leave a store better than you found it; conduct structured pre-call planning and post-call recaps to hold yourself accountable
- Drive sell-in: proactively present new products, seasonal assortments, and promotional programs to secure orders and grow Traeger's shelf presence in your accounts
- Build and expand retailer partnerships — your goal is to be the most trusted and valued vendor rep in every door you walk into
- Plan, forecast, and land financial targets on a quarterly and annual basis; check in regularly with your manager on progress against goals
- Develop account assortments based on available space and strategic direction; monitor inventory levels and ensure optimal product flow
- Identify and develop new distribution that is incremental and does not erode your existing retail accounts — grow the footprint without undercutting the partners you already have
- Training, Demonstrations & Events
- Obsess over retailer training — equip every store employee with the product knowledge, confidence, and enthusiasm to sell and represent Traeger at point of sale
- Identify and invest in key shop employees who can champion Traeger on the floor
- Bring the energy to every interaction — Traeger sells an experience, not just a grill; your retailers should feel that every time you walk in the door
- Execute in-store events, weekend activations, and demos — both as lead coordinator and as a supporting participant — during peak selling seasons
- Brand Elevation & Merchandising
- Become a merchandising expert: use Traeger-provided POP materials and fixtures to define a best-in-class brand experience in every door
- Claim and protect Traeger's floor space; ensure our displays are always fully stocked, properly signed, and visually compelling
- Work with your manager and key accounts to develop co-op marketing plans that elevate the Traeger brand at retail
- Marketplace & Admin
- Stay current on local consumer trends and competitive activity; surface insights that could unlock new distribution or storytelling opportunities
- Maintain 100% CRM adoption — your recaps, pipeline, and account data are how the team stays aligned and how you demonstrate the impact of your work in the field; manage your schedule and territory efficiently to make it happen
What You'll Need to Succeed
- 1–3 years of experience in field sales, territory sales, or retail account management — consumer goods, outdoor/hardlines, or sporting goods experience strongly preferred
- Demonstrated ability to drive sell-in: you can walk into a store, build rapport with a buyer or manager, and leave with an order or commitment
- Comfortable spending the majority of your workweek in the field — this role is not office-based
- Strong verbal communication and relationship-building skills; you are confident presenting to store managers, buyers, and shop staff
- Organized and self-directed; able to manage a multi-account territory without heavy supervision
- Proven track record of hitting sales targets
- Salesforce or similar CRM experience preferred
- Proficiency in MS Office (Excel, Outlook, Word)
- Valid driver's license and willingness to travel overnight regularly
- Physically able to be on your feet for extended periods of time and lift 50+ lbs — you will be moving grills, equipment, and event materials regularly
- Bachelor's degree preferred, but equivalent field sales experience is equally valued — we care about what you've done, not just your credentials
