About iLevel Brands:

We are a growing, dynamic and innovative national brokerage company representing natural product brands sold in thousands of stores like Whole Foods, Sprouts, Kroger, Publix and many more.

iLevel started out as a Contract Sales & Brand Management Company in 2007. About 5 years ago we decided to expand and are now offering a new cutting-edge national brokerage service to our clients. Our new Brokerage division is growing quickly, and we are adding team members to help represent brands nationally.

We cover all classes of trade including natural food stores, supermarkets, club stores and convenience stores. Our brands represent a cross section of all categories including natural and organic foods, supplements, health and beauty care etc.

We are building a one of a kind web based market place to allow independent retailers nationally to purchase products from hundreds of brands without requiring a face to face sales call. Much of the natural product industry is stuck in the 1980’s when it comes to selling new items. We are radically changing that process with a digital brokerage system that will turn the outdated process on its head.

We are looking for a talented Product Manger to lead this project which is the first of its kind in the Consumer Packed Goods market.

If you are tired of the usual mundane PM jobs, then this is one for you.

This is a remote position and is best suited for individuals who are comfortable working in an in-home environment.

Requirements:

As the Product Manager at iLevel Brands, you will be responsible for building a product that drastically improves the way that smaller independent stores make purchasing decisions so they can compete with larger chains.

• Work with sales, marketing and customer success teams to create the content and tools needed to successfully sell, implement and service the product.
• You are not required to code, but it is a bonus if you do.
