Territory Sales Manager - Home Improvement, Lawn & Garden

We the Wild Plant Care · Wausau, WI, USA ·

Job type:
Full Time

We the Wild is fast becoming the go-to gardening brand for the next generation. We’re looking for a dynamic Territory Manager to help grow our retail business across home improvement, lawn and garden, distributors, and multi-door garden center accounts.

This role will report into the National Sales Manager, and is an opportunity to join a growing company at an exciting stage. You will play a meaningful role in building the business from the ground up, and building on our values of community, curiosity, integrity and resourcefulness.

This is for someone who wants more than a maintenance role. Someone who is excited by the idea of helping expand a brand, opening doors, supporting customers well, and being part of a team that is building something with real momentum.

What You’ll Do

Manage and grow a portfolio of retail and distributor accounts across the home improvement and lawn and garden channels

Build strong relationships with buyers, store managers, merchandisers, and distributor partners

Support the day‑to‑day execution required to help accounts succeed, including campaign setup, promotions, launches, follow‑up, and issue resolution

Support account activity on Faire, including promotions, communication, order coordination, and customer service

Run product training sessions for retail staff and distributor teams to improve product knowledge and drive sell‑through

Partner with accounts to support merchandising, in‑store execution, and overall account performance

Identify opportunities to grow existing business and win new accounts across the territory

Work closely with internal teams to ensure customers are supported quickly and well

Keep account activity, follow‑up, and sales opportunities organized and moving forward

What We’re Looking For

Experience in territory sales, account management, or retail sales support in home improvement, lawn and garden or related channels

Strong relationship‑building skills with both head office buyers and store‑level teams

Experience working with distributors, independent retailers, garden centers, or multi‑location retail accounts

Comfortable using Faire as a support and execution tool

Confident running product training sessions and representing a brand in front of customers

Organized, proactive, and detail‑oriented, with strong follow‑through

Someone who is comfortable being hands‑on and takes pride in getting the details right

A builder mindset and excitement about joining a company in growth mode

Why This Role
This is a chance to come in early and make a real impact. You won’t just be managing accounts inside a large machine. You’ll help shape how we grow, how we show up with customers, and how we build a strong retail presence in the market. For the right person, this is an opportunity to grow alongside the company and be part of building something meaningful.

What Success Looks Like

Accounts feel supported, valued, and confident partnering with us

Promotions, launches, and follow‑up are executed well and on time

Store teams are trained and engaged

Customer issues are handled quickly and thoughtfully

Territory sales grow through strong relationships and consistent execution
