Sales Coordinator – North America
Remote, with a preference for Denver/Boulder area
About us
Our company Kendal Nutricare (www.kendamil.com) manufactures European infant formula. Since launching in 2016 we now sell in 45 countries globally, with customers including the British Royal Family. Millions of parents choose us for our uniquely natural recipe – organic, whole-milk based, no palm oil and no nasties. We are proud to be ranked by the Financial Times as one of Europe’s 1000 Fastest Growing Companies.
We have now expanded rapidly in the USA, available in Target and Kroger stores nationwide, and we are building strong traction with retailers and parents alike. The formula shortage last year was, and still is, an ordeal for parents across the country and we were honoured that President Biden, The White House and the FDA selected us as the first international brand to help and diversify the US formula market for the long term.
We are on an incredibly exciting journey – join us as we continue on our rapid growth trajectory!
