Key Account Manager

About the opportunity

2026 marks a landmark year for Eastland Food Corporation: our 45th anniversary. For over four decades, we have been the bridge between the best flavors of Asia and the American table.

We are looking for a seasoned, food-passionate Sales Director to join our leadership team. This is a role for someone who loves the strategy of big-box retail as much as the relationships of the independent grocery world.
