Company Overview

Force Factor is on a mission to disrupt the global health and wellness industry by creating innovative health products that help consumers Unleash their Potential. Our vitamins, supplements, and better-for-you foods are scientifically formulated to help create healthier and happier lives for people of all kinds.

Our award-winning products are sold in thousands of retail and eCommerce stores nationwide, including Walmart, Amazon, Walgreens, Target, CVS, The Vitamin Shoppe, Sam's Club and iHerb. More than 50,000 people buy our products daily and that number is growing every month. You have the potential to make a real impact on people's lives by working at Force Factor to create products that Unleash Potential!

Culturally, think of us as an intense, meritocratic, and exciting high-growth startup that has survived and thrived through its first decade of rapid evolution and is now focused on scaling up to conquer the next decade's challenges and opportunities. We've accomplished a lot in our first 17+ years, but fundamentally know that we're just at the beginning of our journey, and that's where you come in! We need the smartest, highest energy people with real integrity who are looking to join an ambitious, hard-working team.

Force Factor is based in Boston's innovative Seaport District. Our team is filled with passionate, dedicated, and inspiring people operating with an ownership mindset (which is easy because we are entirely privately held and plan to stay that way). If you love a challenge, enjoy acting with urgency, and prefer to opt into a high-performance culture, when you join us, you'll feel like you've finally come home. Our private ownership structure is designed for the long term to enable huge opportunities for key team members to learn a ton, work with other A players and generate significant wealth, and we hope you'll choose to help us build an enduring and successful business for decades to come.  There are two main reasons we're included on Bain's Insurgent Brands list of high-achieving CPG brands outperforming market growth: our people and our culture.

Program Overview

The Force Factor Sales Leadership Development Program is the opportunity of a lifetime for top college graduates ready to build a career in CPG sales. You will learn from the best, grow with a winning team, and step onto a clear path to owning your own accounts at a growing, privately held brand.

This is not a rotational program with a fixed clock. It is a performance-based runway into a National Account Manager seat. You move when you are ready. Top performers earn account ownership faster. We are a meritocracy. Results decide everything.

You will work side by side with senior sales leaders, build buyer relationships at major national retailers, and learn how Force Factor wins in one of the most competitive categories in CPG. You will sell products that improve lives, in channels that matter, with a team that moves fast and rewards results.

If you have a strong academic record, a sharp mind, presence in a room, and the drive to own real business, you belong here.
