Sales Representative; Southern Maryland

Saval Food service is seeking a dynamic Sales Representative candidate to support our customers in the Southern Maryland area (Bowie, Upper Marlboro, PG, and lower Anne Arundel Counties). This individual will be responsible for increasing market share by helping our current and new customers in this region succeed. This position is directly responsible for maintaining the highest ethical standards, and achieving budget in sales, customer count, and A/R.

Qualified candidates will have a passion for food, customer service, and work ethic; promote a positive company image, and work with both internal and external customers in order to achieve agreed upon goals.

While Saval does big business, the feel of working for Saval is intentionally small. As an independent company with experienced and accessible management, we’re able to make improvements, address issues, and update systems quickly and efficiently. As an employee of Saval, you will help us deliver on our promise of exceptional service to our restaurant and hospitality customers.

At Saval, we believe that we have a responsibility to give back and support our local community through philanthropic initiatives and partnerships with local nonprofits and trade organizations.

In 2020 alone, Saval Food service worked to distribute and donate over 15,000 boxes of food goods in partnership with Johns Hopkins.

Our operations team is led by Senior Vice President Gary Peisach, who is a sitting board member of Meals on Wheels of Central Maryland, a non-profit that tackles feeding impoverished and elderly clients in the Baltimore region.

One of our most successful Saval Cares Initiatives is our annual charity golf tournament that has raised over $350,000 for the Children’s Cancer Foundation since its inception over 19 years ago.

We’re a proud allied member of the Restaurant Association of Maryland, the Restaurant Association of Metropolitan Washington, Uni Pro Buying Group, and the International Association of Food service Distributors.

We want our employees to feel they can grow with us. Many companies claim their benefits are “comprehensive”, but we’ve taken a whole-human and whole-company approach to employee benefits.

Our Employee Assistance Program is robust and offers a variety of support services like Mental Health Counseling, Legal Advice, Travel Assistance and more.

Take control of your health with our robust options for health, dental and vision insurance, or create a custom plan with additional AFLAC or FSA benefits.
