Kraft Foods Inc. is big, but not big enough among U.S. consumers. In response to fewer sales at home than abroad, the 2nd largest food and beverage company in North America has announced plans to expand their 7,000+ person sales force.
“We intend to win every account, every store, every household, even yours and mom’s,” says Anthony Vernon, President of Kraft North America.
Kraft is based in the Chicago suburb of Northfield, Illinois. Expect sales and marketing positions to be nationwide, particularly for account management jobs. Keep your eye out over the next few months for more job announcements from Kraft.
