Coffee Shops Jobs in Highlands Ranch, CO (NOW HIRING)

This individual contributor role owns Odeko's corporate and franchisor-level relationships across the Central region, ranging from a 10-location regional coffee brand to a multi-unit franchise system operating under a shared operating agreement.

The objective: negotiate supplier programs, making Odeko the sole or primary distribution supplier; realizing operator compliance and program expansion.

You'll step into an active, revenue-bearing portfolio, including key franchise systems requiring hands-on re-engagement.
This role reports to the Senior Regional Sales Manager, Central Region.

• Negotiate and manage system-wide purchasing agreements - pricing, product selection, inventory, logistics, and last-mile service - with franchisors, retailers, restaurants, and corporate buying groups.
• Overcome program objections and price pressure to strengthen margin and steer accounts toward Odeko's key, strategic products.
• Run the two-step franchise motion: land the brand-level agreement, then support local field capture for door-level execution, staying involved through activation rather than handing off and moving on.
• Own franchise win-back for stalled or at-risk accounts, accountable for real franchisee-level penetration, not just a signed corporate contract.
• Support site leaders, franchisees, and other in-account stakeholders directly, ensuring agreements translate into working relationships at every level of the account.
• Coordinate cross-functionally with Operations, Procurement, Finance, and Central region field sales to align on inventory, pricing, service levels, and local execution - without direct authority over those teams.
• Partner day-to-day with the Central region field team, who carry local relationships and account execution.
• Report on system-wide penetration, renewal timing, and margin terms for each brand relationship, and identify new centralized-buying targets as they enter the market.

• Hunt, negotiate, and close $2M in new business
• Leverage strategic vendors to drive top-line and gross margin growth
• Achieve 25% franchise win-back within the existing book of business
• Develop repeatable go-to-market programs for new account activation and expansion

Operations, Procurement, Finance, Marketing, RevOps, Customer Success, & Local Sales

• Cross-functional influence without authority — aligns teams and stakeholders around a shared plan despite having no direct oversight of those teams.
• Dynamic account management — manages complex, multi-stakeholder agreements across several organizational layers (corporate, franchisee, site-level), building buy-in and program compliance.
• Executive-level negotiation — comfortable overcoming objections and price pressure at the C-suite level to land profitable, mutually beneficial terms.
• Relationship development at a distance — build trust and sustain strong relationships with geographically dispersed stakeholders through high-quality, value-added interactions.

• 5+ years managing multi-unit, corporate-level accounts — backgrounds in foodservice, beverage, allied distribution, or B2B account management all relevant.
• 2+ years negotiating complex purchasing agreements with corporations, franchisors, chain accounts, or buying groups.
• Strong track record of account management spanning multiple internal and external organizational levels and stakeholders.
• Solution-oriented, strategic thinker — comfortable developing new program ideas and selling them internally and externally.
• Comfortable using data and technology to drive sales outcomes for the company and its customers.
• Fluency with CRM tools (HubSpot or similar) to track account status, contract terms, and penetration.
• Experience in a fully remote, high-autonomy organization strongly preferred.

Can be based in Denver, CO; a major TX metro (Austin, DFW, Houston, or San Antonio); or Nashville, TN. Base salary range: $90,000 – $105,000, plus performance-based incentive tied to gross margin/portfolio growth, depending on experience and location. $130,000 OTE.
