About Fuel Up

We are a dynamic, growing startup focused on providing convenient, on-the-go pre-workout drinks, protein shakes, and healthy snacks through modern, technologically advanced vending machines. Our mission is to fuel busy people's health and fitness goals wherever they are—from gyms and corporate offices to student centers and hospitals.

The Role: Sales & Operations Specialist

We are seeking a highly motivated, results-oriented Sales & Operations Specialist to drive our business expansion and manage the day-to-day operations of our vending network. This is a critical, hybrid role that combines front-end sales and business development with back-end logistics and maintenance. The ideal candidate is a self-starter who thrives on independence and is comfortable being the face of our company across an entire territory.

Secure agreements for placement, negotiating favourable terms which may include a monthly rental fee or a profit-share basis.

Relationship Management: Build and maintain strong, positive relationships with location contacts to ensure long-term, mutually beneficial partnerships.

Snack Machine Integration: Expand the business by strategically placing and managing a network of traditional snack vending machines alongside our specialty machines.

2. Operations, Logistics, & Inventory Management (50%)

Replenishment & Route Management: Execute a weekly/bi-weekly route schedule to restock and service all assigned vending machines. This requires a high degree of organization and time management.

Inventory & Purchasing:

Monitor product sales data to forecast demand and manage inventory levels for both the specialty drinks and snack machines.
