Regional Sales Manager - Northeast

Ooni Regional Sales Manager- Northeast, US 

Americans love pizza. In fact, so much that 350 slices of pizza are eaten every second of every day.    Portable pizza ovens are the fastest growing sector in the global outdoor cooking market and Ooni stands alone at the forefront of this rapidly expanding market. That figures… y’know, since we invented them in the first place. Italy may be the home of pizza, but the US is where it goes to party! We sell Ooni products all over the world, but the US is, by far, our biggest market. 

Ooni is in the middle of an extreme growth phase in the United States and is looking to add two experienced leaders with an entrepreneurial and team-oriented mindset to its roster. This role will work alongside our US Sales Team (and our Global Sales Team) to develop and grow our omni channel retail presence in this market.
