ABOUT US

Vivazen launched with a disruptive idea: that a small, plant-powered shot could outperform the synthetic stimulants dominating convenience counters. Over a decade later, we’ve not only proven it—we’ve defined the category. As the original brand to bring kratom-based products to market, we’ve since expanded into a powerful portfolio of clean, effective botanical blends—with more than 700 million servings sold nationwide.

Retailers rely on Vivazen to drive real revenue in minimal space. Consumers trust us for fast-acting, feel-good energy they can count on. And behind it all is a business built for speed, ownership, and performance.

At Vivazen, you won’t wait for permission or promotion. From day one, you’ll run a real territory with clear goals, visible numbers, and the support to win. As we enter a new phase of rapid growth, we’re building a team that’s as ambitious as the opportunity. If you're motivated by autonomy, accountability, and upward mobility—and you want to help shape the future of natural performance—you’ll go far at Vivazen.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

As a DSD Manager, you’ll split your time between owning your own high-performing territory and coaching a lean, hungry team of field reps to drive aggressive growth across the region.

You’ll stay hands-on in the field—selling a category-leading, life-changing product, opening doors, keeping shelves stocked, and increasing reorder velocity. At the same time, you’ll coach, train, and lead 3–5 reps, helping them master the field, build confidence, and consistently move the scoreboard.

This role is perfect for someone with strong field experience who's ready to lead from the front, build a team culture of excellence, and drive results that speak for themselves.

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Spearhead new door growth—open a high volume of new accounts weekly while ensuring each rep on your team hits their targets
• Drive sales performance across a small team of 3–5 reps—monitor progress, provide field coaching, and ensure targets are met
• Sell in Vivazen’s product line and build strong retail relationships that support reorder growth and direct shipment
• Maintain high-quality in-store execution: correct shelf placement, full inventory, clean POS, and rotated stock

• Set the tone through your own performance—run a strong route and lead with clarity and consistency

WHAT YOU’LL BRING

• 2+ years in DSD, route sales, or field sales within beverage, energy, tobacco, or similar CPG categories

• Prior leadership experience or demonstrated success mentoring others
