Our products are made without GMO ingredients, and we source from farms where animals are treated with care and respect and are allowed to grow at their natural rate, all part of our mission – Changing The Meat We Eat®.

Natural can mean many things, but for Applegate natural means our food is:

From animals humans raised without antibiotics, added hormones or growth promotants

Responsibilities

Has responsibility for conducting full category management reviews, analyzing business issues, and providing business insights and recommendations in the areas of assortment, pricing, promotion, and shelf presentation to drive business results utilizing a variety of syndicated and internal data. The Sales Analyst will work closely with the sales team to lead with insights and develop appropriate recommendations and actionable plans to achieve both Applegate and retailer goals. For example, the Sales Analyst may perform assortment analysis, identifying distribution gaps for the retailer and appropriate actions to close said gaps. The findings and recommendations are then presented independently, or with National Account Manager, at category line review meetings.
