• Lead merchandising resets and in-store initiatives alongside our internal teams
• Get in the mix at dealer events, House-Hasson Markets, vendor showcases, and sales meetings
• Work directly with vendor reps to sharpen your product knowledge and sales approach
• Be the voice of the dealer — gather feedback on products, pricing, and market trends and share it with the right teams
• Track and report on your visits, wins, and opportunities to keep momentum going
• Collaborate across Sales, Purchasing, Marketing, and Customer Service to deliver for dealers
• Travel your territory (and to House-Hasson locations) as needed — no two days look the same
• Jump into special projects and new challenges as they come up
