Account Manager, Drug

We're so happy you're here! Thank you for checking our job out and we hope to have the chance to meet you in our interview process!

About the role

We’re hiring an Account Manager, Drug to own and scale Grüns Drug channel as we expand into Walgreens and CVS. This role is critical to the success of our upcoming launches and long-term growth in Drug retail. You’ll act as the dedicated business owner for CVS and Walgreens owning strategy, execution, performance, and relationships end-to-end.

As we enter new categories and expand our footprint, this role ensures our Drug business stays organized, strategically positioned, and flawlessly executed. You’ll lead buyer relationships, promo planning, feature execution, and performance analysis—shifting conversations from status updates to opportunity-driven growth.

This role is part of our remote HQ! We have a fully remote, high-trust work environment - and also come together on a quarterly basis for amazing off-sites where we can connect IRL. This role also requires monthly travel to support key retail partners and business priorities.

In this role, you will:

• Own and manage the CVS and Walgreens businesses end-to-end, serving as the primary point of accountability for strategy, execution, and results.

• Build and maintain strong buyer relationships across Drug retailers, expanding from transactional updates to strategic, insight-led conversations.

• Establish a consistent monthly business review cadence, delivering clear sales updates, performance insights, and forward-looking opportunities to buyers and internal leadership.

• Lead Drug promo planning and analysis across in-store and digital, ensuring promotions are efficient, profitable, and aligned with national programs (Aisle, Ibotta, retailer-specific activations).

• Own feature execution for Drug retailers, including endcaps and off-shelf placements—brief creation, asset coordination, launch management, proof of execution, and post-promo recaps.

• Build and maintain a steady pipeline of incremental Drug opportunities, including new SKUs, expanded distribution, off-shelf features, digital visibility, and category expansion.

• Create and maintain Drug’s single source of truth, including promo grids, key dates, SKU setup, asset requirements, and execution guidelines.

• Partner cross-functionally with Operations, Marketing, Finance, and Replenishment to ensure seamless launches, strong execution, and accurate reporting.

We're looking for someone who:

• Has 5+ years of CPG sales experience, with at least 3 years directly managing CVS and/or Walgreens.

• Brings a proven track record of owning buyer relationships and delivering measurable results (revenue growth, SKU expansion, features, distribution gains).

• Deeply understands CVS and/or Walgreens economics, category dynamics, merchant strategies, and operational expectations.

• Has led Drug merchandising initiatives, including selling-in products, executing features, and managing promotions.

• Is highly analytical and comfortable synthesizing large datasets into clear, actionable insights for buyers and leadership.

• Is fluent in syndicated data (SPINS, Nielsen, IRI) and skilled in Excel/Sheets and presentation tools.

• Communicates with confidence, clarity, and conviction—internally and externally.

• Thrives in high-ownership environments and is comfortable jumping between strategy and hands-on execution.

Approach to the role

• Acts like an owner, not just an account manager—fully accountable for P&L, relationships, and execution.

• Leads with insights and ideas, not just status updates.

• Obsessed with retailer nuance—anticipates CVS and Walgreens needs before they’re voiced.

• Moves fast, tests thoughtfully, and continuously improves based on results.

• Balances rigor and creativity to unlock incremental growth opportunities.

• Brings a “nothing is below me” mindset—willing to do whatever it takes to win.

At Grüns, we're committed to providing a competitive total compensation package—grounded in market data that considers our size, stage, industry, and location. For this role, the base salary range is between $120,000-$150,000 depending on experience.

A bit about us...

At Grüns, we believe that foundational nutrition should be simple and convenient for everyone. We're dedicated to bringing comprehensive and real nutrition to you through our gummies, formulated from 60 nutrient-dense and whole-food ingredients. Simply enjoy a grab-and-go snack pack of gummies daily whenever fits best in your schedule and wherever life takes you.

Like you, we were disappointed. There’s an infinite number of “nutrition” companies, all focused on what’s best for them — not what’s best for you. Hundreds of products to sell you on, low-quality ingredients, and small nutrient doses. We’ve seen it all.

So we decided it was time to fix it. No more choking on and popping pills like a pharmacy. No more clean-up and disgust from gross powders. And no more cobbling together handfuls to dozens of supplements. Grüns is comprehensive nutrition, made convenient and delicious.

What we care about...

Autonomy: Only the best work at Grüns. We’re all confident, independent leaders. We are proactive. We find opportunities for improvement. Don’t ask; just do. When our actions impact other areas of the organization, we communicate with those functional leaders to ensure connectivity.

Growth: We love to take on new challenges, learn new things, and express interest in new functions. “I’ve never done this before” is not an excuse; it’s an opportunity.

Community: We care deeply about each other. We’re good humans and provide support wherever we can. We care, not just professionally but personally as well.

Compensation & Perks:

For every role, we aim to have highly competitive compensation and opportunity for impact and career growth.

Everyone at Grüns works hard, but we believe in wellness and balance too. We have super strong benefits coverage -- for you and your family, generous PTO, free Grüns subscriptions, and a few more perks centered around health and well-being that we can't wait to tell you about!
