Job Title: Territory Sales Manager

Location: North Florida

Status: FT

Reports to: Regional Sales Manager

Salary Range: 70-80k

At Ancient Nutrition, we have a clear goal: harness history’s most powerful superfoods and provide them in forms that are easy to include in a modern lifestyle. We’re passionate about creating products that help fill the gaps in the everyday diet and deliver meaningful results.

But the truth is, who we are goes beyond supplements. We embrace responsibility for our planet, from the soil that grows our food to the air that fills our lungs. That’s why we are leading the revolution of regenerative agriculture on our own farms and farms across the country.

Through partnerships with pioneers like Regenerative Organic Certified®, groundbreaking research with Rodale Institute, and widely-recognized certifications like B Corporation®, we are developing future-focused methods that have a positive impact on the soil and the environment. These methods help reduce atmospheric carbon, minimize waste and protect biodiversity — and they result in ingredients that are richer in essential vitamins, minerals and antioxidants than conventionally farmed food.

We are harnessing the power of incredible superfoods grown through regenerative practices. We are cultivating healthy people and a healthy planet. And, ultimately, we will save the world with superfoods.
