ABOUT ANYDAY:
Anyday is creating an entirely new category in the kitchen space that will make it incredibly easy to cook more deliciously, quickly, and healthily: plastic-free, microwave-safe cookware. It turns out that cooking food from scratch in the microwave is a little-known secret that has been championed over the years by renowned chefs and food writers, but hasn’t been able to attain mainstream popularity because the cookware and knowledge hasn’t been there to support it. That’s where we come in.
We’re a small team, fueled by a love of food and cooking, with ambitious plans to change the way people cook. We’re constantly learning and sharing new kitchen tricks, hacks, and recipes that help people minimize time and effort while maximizing deliciousness. Ultimately, Anyday gives consumers something that we all need more of — free time — to spend in whichever way they choose.

The Anyday team is seeking an experienced Event Sales Specialist to join our team. Reporting to the General Manager, this person will be an enthusiastic ambassador of the brand, conducting roadshow product demonstrations at Costco locations, with the goal of educating members on the benefits, features, and value of our microwave cookware, and converting buying interest into purchases. Earn competitive base wage, plus competitive performance-dependent commission structure.
