Over the years, Olé Mexican Foods has earned a solid reputation in the food industry by consistently delivering outstanding products that resonate with diverse customer bases. The company thrives on strong customer partnerships, exceptional field execution, and a passionate workforce dedicated to upholding the brand's values. As a growing enterprise, Olé Mexican Foods is committed to expanding its reach while maintaining the highest standards of product quality and customer satisfaction.

The company is currently looking to hire a Route Sales Representative for its Direct Store Delivery (DSD) territory sales team. This important role focuses on supporting and growing retail sales within a specific territory by building strong relationships with retail customers and independent operators, increasing product visibility, and driving sales growth. The position is highly field-based, requiring frequent store visits and the ability to work independently while maintaining clear communication with leadership and customers. It is an excellent opportunity for candidates with experience in route sales, DSD sales, grocery or retail sales, beverage or snack distribution, merchandising, territory sales, or food and consumer packaged goods (CPG) sales.

The Route Sales Representative plays a crucial role in ensuring the success of Olé Mexican Foods within their assigned retail territory. Responsibilities include building and maintaining solid relationships with store managers, retail partners, independent operators, and key decision-makers. The representative is tasked with growing sales volume, increasing product presence, identifying opportunities for additional product displays and promotions, and optimizing shelf space. Regular visits to stores ensure proper product rotation, merchandising, and addressing any out-of-stock situations to maximize sales. The role involves close collaboration with division sales management to track territory performance and goals. Representatives also assist with route organization, coverage planning, and operational support to ensure smooth territory execution, especially during disruptions. Since this role supports independent operators, the representative helps ensure that warehouse, vehicle, and equipment standards are maintained appropriately. This multifaceted position suits candidates who are self-motivated, capable of solving problems, and comfortable managing various sales responsibilities independently in a dynamic environment.

Candidates are encouraged to bring a blend of experience and skills that align with the company’s objectives. Being bilingual in Spanish is a plus, reflecting the company’s dedication to serving diverse communities. This role offers a unique chance to be part of a leading Hispanic brand, contributing directly to its growth and presence in retail markets nationwide. Olé Mexican Foods emphasizes employee development and offers competitive compensation along with benefits such as medical, dental, and vision insurance, 401(k) with company match, life insurance, paid time off, and career growth opportunities. If you have a background in route sales, DSD networks, or retail merchandising and are passionate about food and beverage distribution, this position provides an ideal pathway to advance your career within an established yet forward-looking company.
