Job Description

Novolex is a prominent manufacturer specializing in food, beverage, and specialty packaging. The company serves diverse industries such as foodservice, restaurant delivery and carryout, food processing, grocery and retail, and various industrial sectors. With extensive expertise in manufacturing and sourcing across many substrates including resin, paper, molded fiber, and aluminum, Novolex offers its customers a vast portfolio that includes 120 product categories, 250 brands, and over 39,000 stock keeping units (SKUs). This breadth of products allows Novolex to provide both stock and customized packaging solutions tailored to the specific needs of businesses in multiple markets. Novolex is recognized not only for its product variety and market reach but also for its robust commitment to sustainability that plays a foundational role in their corporate strategy. The company’s sustainability efforts focus on three main pillars: their products, operations, and people. These pillars underscore Novolex’s long-term vision for sustainable growth, which is supported by their wide-ranging initiatives aiming to promote environmental responsibility and social engagement.

This opportunity invites candidates, particularly those based in New Jersey or nearby areas, to join Novolex in a remote sales role focused on commercial non-food distribution. The position involves managing brokers and forging strong relationships to ensure product distribution and sales objectives are met and exceeded. This is a home-based remote role that offers flexibility while demanding a high degree of self-direction and accountability. The role requires effective communication, both personal and virtual, with existing and potential customers. As a sales professional within Novolex, individuals will be responsible for executing sales plans targeting both volume and profitability within their assigned territory. The ideal candidate will regularly travel, engaging in field promotions, developing new accounts, and demonstrating product applications to articulate their value and benefits effectively. This hands-on approach ensures customer satisfaction and supports the growth of the product portfolio’s market share. Novolex offers an estimated salary range of $75,000 to $125,000 plus bonus and benefits, reflecting the position’s responsibility and expected contribution to the company’s success. Benefits include a 401(k) plan with company match, comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance, flexible spending and health savings accounts, paid vacation and sick days, paid parental leave, paid holidays, and wellness programs. Novolex also emphasizes community engagement and ongoing employee development through extensive training and educational programs, making it an attractive employer for individuals seeking growth and meaningful work in a company committed to sustainability and community support.
