Revenue Growth Manager

About Us:

Since 1935, we’ve been on a mission to bring a little extra happiness to everyday life and inspire connections over food. We select the finest ingredients the world has to offer, craft premium products made with love, and never settle for shortcuts. We believe that when we share our food, we share a part of ourselves — and that’s the only way we’d put our name on it.

Today, our small family company has grown into a national leader in specialty olives, peppers, and sauces under the leadership of CEO Jeff Mezzetta, and our commitment to quality has never wavered. With an 80-year legacy behind us and a bright future ahead, we’re seeking passionate, driven candidates to help us bring our cherished family traditions to a new generation.

The ideal candidate will have an immediate connection to our Core Ingredients:

Crunchy Crunchy: We are hungry for excellence.

Own It: We think and act as an owner – with appetite, initiative, and responsibility.

Connection: We build authentic relationships that foster trust and open communications.

Vibrance: We come to work eager and passionate about fulfilling our vision. When we share our work, we share a part of who we are.

The Revenue Growth Manager will translate customer, promotional, pricing, and financial data into practical recommendations that improve revenue, profitability, and commercial decision-making. Working closely with Sales, Marketing, and Insights, this manager within the finance team will balance strategic thinking with hands-on execution and will help build scalable RGM capabilities across the organization.

This role is both an analytical business partner and an operational owner. The manager will lead retailer- and customer-specific analyses, strengthen net sales and trade spend processes, build decision-support tools, and establish consistent governance for planning, execution, and performance measurement.

This position can base 4 days out of our Larkspur Landing office or hybrid between our Larkspur and American Canyon locations (with one day remote).
