Area Manager

Job Details

Job Location: Bigfoot Beverages Coos Bay - Coos Bay, OR 97420Position Type: Full TimeJob Shift: AnyJob Category: Management

You’re not the kind of leader who manages from behind a desk. You’re the one out in the field—coaching, problem solving, and celebrating wins with your team. As an Area Manager at Bigfoot Beverages, you’ll lead the charge in making sure our products look great, move fast, and keep our customers stocked, happy, and coming back for more.

 

You’ll oversee a talented crew of Delivery Drivers and Merchandisers, bringing out their best every day through hands-on training, accountability, and authentic leadership. You’ll keep the routes efficient, the execution sharp, and the standards sky-high. When something’s off—product, schedule, or service—you’re the one who steps in, solves it, and keeps us moving.

 

 

What "doing it right" looks like for our Area Manager

• Lead, coach, and develop a high-performing team of Delivery Drivers and Merchandisers.

• Plan and manage daily routing to hit targets for hours, stops, and cases while maintaining labor efficiency.

• Ensure safety practices are followed in all operations and reinforce Bigfoot’s commitment to safe work environments.

• Collaborate cross-functionally with co-managers, sales, marketing, and the People & Impact team to align goals and support company initiatives.
