SALES COORDINATOR

Grandpa Joe’s Candy Shop is seeking a dedicated Sales Coordinator to support our Sales, Purchasing, and Warehouse teams in bringing big ideas - and big orders - to life. If you’re excited about learning the ropes, jumping into the action, and supporting everything from wholesale accounts to trade show prep (and even the occasional shipping box!), this could be the role for you.

JOB REQUIREMENTS:

• Education: Bachelor’s degree in Business or related field required.
• Mindset: Motivated, flexible, and willing to dive into whatever’s needed to get the job done.
• People Skills: Comfortable picking up the phone, talking to strangers, and building genuine connections.
• Detail-Oriented: Able to track and follow up on moving pieces, dates, and deliverables across departments.
• Tech-Savvy: Familiarity with sales platforms or a willingness to learn tools like Shopify, MarketTime, and Excel.
• Team Player: Ready to collaborate, take direction, and roll up your sleeves when it’s crunch time.

THE ROLE:

As a Sales Coordinator, you’ll be a key support player working closely with our Sales and Business Development team to keep things running smoothly. One day might mean communicating with a buyer or prepping sample boxes, the next could involve organizing product data or helping us get ready for a trade show. No two days are quite the same and we like it that way!
We’re looking for someone who is eager to learn, comfortable with ambiguity, and excited to wear many hats as they grow in their career with us.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Wholesale Support: Assist with product uploads, inventory updates, and customer data in wholesale platforms.
• CommunicationRelationship Building: Engage with customers, prospects, and wholesale partners via phone and email to provide support, answer questions, and nurture relationships.
• Team Liaison: Coordinate across departments - Sales, Purchasing, Warehouse, and Marketing - to ensure projects are moving forward and staying on track.

• Potential Travel: Attend trade shows and industry events as needed to support our sales and merchandising efforts.
• AdminLogistics: Assist with everyday sales operations like sample shipments, packing boxes, updating product lists, and keeping things organized.
• Growth Projects: Take on new challenges and stretch assignments in support of business development and growth goals.
