Savvy Admin PROD

**Position Location: ** Remote, Denver/West Coast preferred

**Reports to: ** SVP of Sales

**Direct Reports: ** Alternative Channel Sales Manager

**About SkinnyDipped**

Located in Seattle, SkinnyDipped was founded by a mom and daughter and two best friends after realizing that nothing is more important than time spent with the ones you love. Starting out of their kitchen, the four women created SkinnyDipped: thinly dipped chocolate almonds that are exceptionally good-for-you and ridiculously delicious. We’re proud to remain a women-led business driven by the belief that healthy snacking should make both you and your body happy.

**The Opportunity**

We’re looking for a strategic, entrepreneurial Director of Strategic Accounts to lead and scale SkinnyDipped’s business across Foodservice and Alternative Channels nationwide.
