• Qualify inbound requests: understand product, volume, packaging format, timelines, and success criteria.
• Coordinate internal inputs to build quotes and proposals (scope, assumptions, lead times, and pricing support).
• Follow up consistently to move opportunities from request → quote → decision → launch.
• Identify expansion opportunities within existing accounts (new SKUs, new formats, value-added services).
• Perform light outbound to drive growth: re-engage past inquiries, follow up on dormant quotes, and outreach to lookalike prospects in targeted categories.

What Success Looks Like

• Inbound requests get a fast response and don’t fall through the cracks.
• Higher quote conversion and faster turnaround from inquiry to launch.
• Customers receive excellent service and increase repeat business.
• Better internal coordination leads to fewer surprises and smoother execution.

• Practical, team-first mindset; able to work cross-functionally in a fast-paced environment.

Preferred (Nice to Have)

• Exposure to contract packaging, co-manufacturing, fulfillment, or CPG.
