Lufa

At Lufa Farms, we’re on a mission to create a better food system and a huge part of this is achieved by growing food where people live, and growing it responsibly. We also partner with hundreds of local farmers and foodmakers to offer a full lineup of fresh, local, responsible groceries through our online Marketplace, an e-commerce site we developed in-house. To keep moving forward, we need an experienced and visionary Director of Sales to define and execute our product strategy, collaborate with key business stakeholders, and ensure the successful delivery of customer‑centric solutions.

The Director of Sales will be responsible for our affiliate program, events management for our kiosks, e-commerce platforms (social media and ads), B2B partnerships (setting up new markets and PUPs), and reworking our referral program. The right person is smart, creative, humble, and able to mentor and support our current team. Their success will be measured by their ability to increase customer signups, improve retention and engagement, and increase purchase frequency as well as the average basket price.
