National Account Manager, Away From Home

About SkinnyDipped
Located in Seattle Washington, SkinnyDipped was founded by a mom and daughter and her two best friends after realizing that nothing is more important than time spent with the ones you love. Starting out of their Seattle kitchen, the four women created SkinnyDipped: thinly-dipped chocolate almonds that are exceptionally good-for-you and ridiculously delicious. The company is proud to remain a women-led business driven by the belief that healthy snacking should make both you and your body happy.

A Bit More About Us
We’re a female-founded success story. This alone–regardless of the industry–requires true grit, mettle, and perseverance. It’s not easy out there! And, culture-wise, we operate with an ethos that any idea is plausible until it isn’t. A wild flavor mix prepared with an all new application? We’re trying it. Changing up a logistical step to improve taste (and keep things clean), even if it means significant investment and time? We’re doing it. We march to the beat of our own drum–you could say it’s prideful, but, more so, it’s that we operate with conviction and we do. not. hesitate. The world can be an intimidating place. But we’re not phased.
