Business Development

Steuart Nutrition, Mabel, MN, United States


Sales & Partnerships Leader — Erlanger, KY Travel: ~20% (more optional for high-performers) Reports Directly to the CEO The Problem We’re Solving Most sales roles are transactional. This one isn’t. We’re building a world-class supplement manufacturing company powered by AI workflows, automation, and mission-driven leadership. We’re growing fast — and we need an entrepreneurial salesperson who sees opportunity everywhere and knows how to turn it into revenue. This is a role for someone who wants ownership, creativity, and the ability to shape their income and future by the work they put in. Who We Are Steuart Nutrition exists to glorify God and build a transformational workplace. We believe culture and character drive results — not the other way around. We manufacture transformational products for transformational brands, and we’re scaling aggressively with robotics, AI-driven operations, and a bold growth vision for our Kentucky facility. If you want a sales role where your mission matters, your faith matters, and your character matters, this is that place. What This Role Really Is This is entrepreneurial sales — not waiting for leads. You’ll hunt. Build relationships. Spot trends. Pitch ideas. Network relentlessly. Deals are large (typically $250k+), strategic, and relationship-driven. You’ll use: AI-powered prospecting Market trend analysis tools Automated follow-up systems Data-backed pitch frameworks And your own creativity Your job is simple: Create revenue by finding the right brands, building trust, and helping them scale through our capabilities. What You’ll Lead Networking, prospecting, and relationship-building with supplement brands of all kinds Leveraging AI tools for outreach, CRM workflows, market intel, and pipeline management Identifying trends in supplements, wellness, sports nutrition, and emerging categories Building partnerships, collaborations, and long‑term agreements Deeply understanding our technical capabilities (you’ll get hands‑on at the plant) Traveling to customer sites, expos, and high‑value meetings (~20%) Managing the full sales cycle from prospecting → pitch → contract → onboarding Serving as the face of Steuart Nutrition’s mission and culture Collaborating directly with production, ops, R&D, and quality to deliver outstanding results Why This Role Is Different You report directly to the CEO — no layers, no bureaucracy.* You build your own income — unlimited upside with a strong base. You get influence — your wins shape hiring, growth, and roadmap decisions. You use AI as your advantage — automating, accelerating, and amplifying your impact. You join a faith‑driven, high‑character culture where integrity matters more than numbers. We don’t hire “high producers” with poor character. We’d rather grow slower than compromise who we are. *You report directly to the CEO- In this role, the candidate will work closely with the CEO, who is committed to being highly intentional in supporting their development. The CEO invests deeply in the people he’s working with — providing guidance, constructive challenges, and meaningful opportunities for growth. Because of that, the CEO is looking for someone who genuinely values mentorship and is excited about being pushed to reach their potential. This position also requires someone who is open to stepping outside their comfort zone, particularly in areas like content marketing and building technical selling skills within our industry. A willingness to experiment, learn quickly, and embrace new approaches will be essential for success. Why You’ll Love This Role You get to sell something that actually improves people’s lives You’ll be part of a fast-growing, automation‑first manufacturing company You’ll have freedom to build, experiment, and try new strategies You’ll work in an environment that values integrity, servant leadership, and excellence You’ll develop deep technical knowledge of supplement manufacturing You’ll grow quickly in responsibility, income, and influence You’ll be positioned for leadership roles as the team scales Traits That Make You a Slam Dunk Obsessed with supplements, wellness, health — or eager to become an expert Energized by the chase, the relationship‑building, and the win Loves using AI tools to accelerate productivity and results Comfortable in technical sales (or eager to learn fast) High integrity, humble, mission‑driven Excellent communicator — confident but not arrogant Sees opportunity everywhere and executes on it Hungry for growth and unlimited earnings Experience Requirements 2+ years in sales or business development (flexible for the right person) Experience in supplements is a plus, not required A genuine passion for learning and using new technology (AI workflows) Your Future Here As the company scales, your path can be: Director of Sales VP of Sales Vertical Owner or Territory Leader Or a high‑earning, long‑term sales operator with no ceiling If you can hunt, build, and close — your future here is wide open. If This Sounds Like You… You love supplements. You love solving problems through partnerships. And you want a sales role where your character and calling actually matter. #J-18808-Ljbffr
