About Heritage Pork International
For over 25 years, Heritage Pork International has been a boutique, high-end pork company producing and marketing specialty pork programs. Our flagship brand, Heritage Berkshire, is built on Berkshire (Kurobuta) genetics — a Japanese heritage breed known for exceptional marbling, tenderness, and flavor. Often described as the "Wagyu of pork," our product is raised by independent, family-owned farms across the Midwest using humane, sustainable practices, and produced in small, limited quantities. Our customers include high-end restaurants, specialty butcher shops, premium grocery chains, and national foodservice distribution across the country.

This role is ideal for someone early in their career — recent graduates or those with minimal professional experience are encouraged to apply. You'll be trained directly by our leadership team, with hands-on exposure to our farms and production facilities, and will grow into supporting both our sales and marketing efforts as you develop product and industry knowledge. This is a foundational role with a clear path to grow into a full sales position managing your own accounts.

Grow over time into identifying and developing new account opportunities
Partner closely with ownership and the broader team in a small-company, all-hands environment
What We're Looking For

Strong communication skills, professionalism, and a genuine openness to learning
Comfortable working on-site, including time spent at farms and production/processing environments
Based in or willing to commute to the Sioux City, IA area
Proficient with basic computer and presentation tools (e.G., PowerPoint)
Background or coursework in agriculture, food, or business is a plus, but not required
Comfortable in a small, close-knit team where everyone contributes across functions
