Our client is a well-established and financially stable food manufacturing company seeking a Raw Fruit Account Manager to support fruit procurement operations throughout Washington State. This is a fully remote position, though travel to grower locations and production sites across Washington is expected approximately 2-3 days per week.

This is also an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys community involvement. The company encourages participation in local agricultural associations, committees, and industry meetings, where this individual will represent the organization and engage with growers and other key stakeholders.
