Sales Associate

At The Chef's Warehouse, we're more than a specialty food distributor. We're trusted partners to the chefs who create unforgettable dining experiences every day.

Our customers rely on us for an unmatched selection of specialty ingredients, premium proteins, and fresh produce sourced from around the world. Our sales team helps bring those products to life by building relationships, solving challenges, and delivering value beyond the plate.

We're looking for driven, relationship-focused professionals who want to grow a career, not just fill a sales role. Whether your background is in food service, hospitality, culinary arts, or sales, this is an opportunity to combine your passion for people and food with uncapped earning potential.

As a Sales Associate, you'll be the face of The Chef's Warehouse within your territory, building trusted relationships with chefs, restaurant owners, and food service operators. You'll help customers discover products and solutions that elevate their menus, improve operations, and grow their businesses.

This role offers the opportunity to develop and expand a portfolio of accounts, win new business, and increase your earnings through an uncapped commission structure. You'll have the autonomy to manage your territory while being supported by an industry-leading team of sales, culinary, protein, and produce experts.

If you're energized by building relationships, creating opportunities, and delivering exceptional customer experiences, you'll thrive here.
