    • Support sales conversations and pass high-priority leads to founder
    • Capture buyer/distributor information and notes for follow-up
    • Direct brand ambassadors and sampling staff
    • Ensure staff understand who to pass buyers to and when

    Founder Support

    • Act as first line of engagement so founder can focus on deeper conversations
    • Step in to continue conversations when founder is occupied
    • Keep a daily summary of key leads, asks, and follow-ups

    Problem Solving & On-Site Management

    • Proactively identify and resolve operational or staffing issues
    • Coordinate with Expo staff as needed (electric, freezer, rules)
    • Maintain calm, solutions-oriented leadership during peak traffic

    Qualifications

    • 3+ years experience leading trade show booths (Expo West experience strongly preferred)
    • Prior experience engaging with retail buyers, distributors, and/or brokers
    • Understanding of CPG sales fundamentals (retail margins, distribution, MOQ basics)
    • Strong verbal communication and confident sales presence
    • Highly organized, detail-oriented, and proactive
    • Comfortable leading a small team in a compact booth environment
    • Experience with food or frozen CPG brands strongly preferred
    • Able to stand long hours and assist with light lifting
