About The Position

This position is located at our Corporate HQ in Lancaster, SC. We would be looking to offer relocation support should a candidate be located in an alternative state. The expectation of this role is to be onsite during the first year (+ or - ) and then be open to relocate elsewhere in the field based on company needs. Summary of the Position: The Nutramax Laboratories’ Commercial Development Program (CDP) is the premier development program for early-career sales and marketing professionals. It builds the foundation for long-term commercial leadership roles within Nutramax Laboratories. CDP concentrates on the development of sales and leadership skills and provides a direct path to a field-based sales position or to a variety of in-house marketing roles. The approximate two-to-three-year program gives participants a complete understanding of Nutramax Laboratories’ business including mission, culture, values, leadership model, sales and marketing organization, veterinary science industry, broader Nutramax support functions, and tools to build a successful sales and marketing career at Nutramax Laboratories. The approximate 24–36 month development program is made up of three key components to build commercial skills and business acumen: Intensive Commercial Development Training @ Nutramax headquarters (~6 months) Veterinary Sciences Inside Sales (~12-18 months) Veterinary Sciences Field Sales Support (FSS) Representative (~6 months) or Marketing Support Representative (~6 months) Candidates selected for this leadership program will join Nutramax Laboratories’ commercial team at our corporate headquarters in Lancaster, SC for ~12-18 months. After the initial ~6 months, CDPA’s will begin their career as an Inside Sales Representative. As an ISR, the CDPA will be placed within a sales district (virtually) and will maintain their own portfolio of veterinary hospital/clinic accounts. The CDPA/ISR will be responsible for growing their territory via inside sales tactics. They will be managed by the Inside Sales supervisor with a dotted line to the field-based District Manager. Success will be measured by overall sales growth, market share expansion, meeting/exceeding strategic program objectives, and expansion of the depth of products sold per account. After the successful completion of the ISR rotation, CDPA’s may have the option to intern as either a field-based Sales Support Representative (FSS) Representative or in-house marketing intern for approximately 6 months. The marketing roles may potentially include digital/e-comm marketing associate, market segment marketing associate, product marketing associate, or other related commercial associate roles. These assignments are designed for participants to gain better understanding the overall business, industry, customers, and internal teams beyond the insides sales roles. Upon completion of the ISR rotation, FSS or Marketing intern roles, CDPA’s participants will interview for field-based Regional Sales Manager role or in-house based marketing associate roles. CDPA positions are required to be geographically mobile within the United States, willing to be initially located in Lancaster, SC for the initial ~ 12-18 months and willing to later accept a field-based sales position to qualify for the program or a position at headquarters.
