Traeger Field Sales Representative

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.

About the Role

You will spend the majority of your time on the retail floor — visiting dealers, building relationships with store staff, landing sell-in orders, and making Traeger impossible to ignore in your market. If you are hungry to build a career in field sales, love food, and want to represent a brand people are genuinely passionate about, this is your launchpad.

What You'll Do

  • 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.

  • This role is not office-based. You will be on the road visiting dealers regularly, including overnight travel.

  • Your time will be spent on the following activities:

    • Account Management & Sell-In (50% of your time): 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 (20% of your time): 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

  • Attend all required team meetings, trade shows, company events, and associated team functions — full participation is an expectation of this role

How You'll Help Us Win

  • Brand Elevation & Merchandising (20% of your time): 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 (10% of your time): 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

Why You Will Love To Work Here

  • Company Truck with gas card

  • Be part of the most disruptive force in outdoor cooking

  • Join a true team working towards a common goal

  • Culture of risk-taking, innovation, & quality

  • Full medical/dental/vision package to fit your needs

  • 401k to help you plan for the future

  • Tuition reimbursement

  • Individual professional development programs & initiatives to help you grow professionally

  • Great discounts on all things Traeger

  • Competitive base salary — build your career without the pressure of commission

  • Build real, transferable field sales skills working one of the most recognizable brands in outdoor cooking
