Seafood Business Development Manager
Position Summary
The Seafood Business Development Manager drives sales growth by developing new business and deepening existing accounts across the foodservice sector, with a specialized focus on premium seafood. The role blends the strategic, hunter-minded discipline of business development - multi-unit group business, platinum-level account retention and growth, and recovery of lost accounts - with the domain expertise of a seafood specialist who can advise chefs and buyers on sourcing, seasonality, sustainability, and culinary application.
The ideal candidate is equal parts closer and consultant: someone who opens doors with key decision-makers, translates deep product knowledge into compelling value, and turns raw data into customer-ready insight.
What You'll Do
Business Development & Account Growth
  • Develop sales across current and emerging foodservice channels through a multi-faceted research approach, collaborating with the sales team to identify and target opportunities aligned to budgeted goals.
  • Focus on multi-unit group business, platinum-level account retention and growth, and recovery of accounts lost within those parameters.
  • Build a methodical, goal-oriented system for each identified opportunity, developing custom-tailored solutions based on each customer's specific needs.
  • Regularly review sales reports to identify and target sleeper accounts where sales potential is not fully leveraged.
  • Demonstrate a high level of closing ability, then maintain relationships as accounts are onboarded and transitioned to the sales team.

Seafood Expertise & Consultative Selling
  • Maintain comprehensive knowledge of the full seafood range - species, sourcing, seasonal availability, quality standards, and culinary applications.
  • Provide expert guidance on seafood selection, preparation, and sustainability, positioning freshness, quality, and responsible sourcing as key differentiators.
  • Respond to inquiries with tailored product recommendations that close sales efficiently and build repeat business.
  • Stay current on industry trends, market pricing, and competitor offerings to position products effectively in the marketplace.

Analysis & Insight
  • Analyze menus, order guides, and purchase history against customer buying patterns to create valued suggestions that maximize sales.
  • Clean unfiltered data to build cost comparisons, then restate them in clear, customer-friendly terms.
  • Prepare regular sales forecasts and reports on product sales, inventory levels, and customer trends.

Relationships & Field Intelligence
  • Create and maintain relationships with key decision-makers, sustaining them after accounts are handed to sales and ensuring maximum leverage of sales potential.
  • Gather street-level business intelligence and translate it into actionable follow-up, setting appointments with decision-makers.
  • Determine and create customized content for sales presentations tailored to each opportunity.

Cross-Functional Support
  • Partner with Transportation to develop routes in need of additional tonnage, maximizing route efficiency.
  • Travel to account HQ meetings in a support role.
  • Support corporate business through daily communication with internal teams.

About You
  • 4-year degree in Business or a related field preferred.
  • 5-7 years of progressive foodservice sales experience, ideally in the Northeast, with proven success selling in the food or seafood sector.
  • Strong knowledge of seafood products - fish, shellfish, and crustaceans - including sourcing, seasonality, and sustainability.
  • Demonstrated high-level closing ability, with strong presentation, negotiation, and influencing skills.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
  • Strong computer skills (Excel, Microsoft Office) and familiarity with CRM software.
  • Proven leadership and motivation skills.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills; able to evaluate trends, data, and opportunities.
  • Ability to work independently in a fast-paced, dynamic selling environment.
  • Well versed in multiple forms of social media.
  • A passion for seafood and sustainability in the food industry is a strong plus.

The above job description is not an all-inclusive list of duties and standards of the position. Incumbents will follow any other instructions, and perform any other related duties as assigned by their supervisor.
Perks & Benefits:
  • Paid Vacations, Paid Holidays
  • Health, Dental and Medical Benefits
