Fishing Tackle Buyer Job Opening. Dream Role For One Lucky Angler!

This is the tackle role you have been looking for…

An exciting, fun, challenging, and creative atmosphere to develop your leadership skills and make a massive impact in the fishing world as a Salt Strong Tackle Buyer.

It’s a dream job for anyone who’s ever thought about being the head honcho for all tackle purchasing and inventory management for a living – with great pay, potential for growth, and a chance to show the world how great you are.

Plus, you’ll be working with competitive, intelligent people all committed to uniting friends and families through fishing.

We are a Florida-based fishing company with the largest online saltwater fishing club in America.

We specialize in serving our 50,000+ “Insider” members through fishing education, e-commerce tackle sales, and a family-like community of anglers from all kinds of different skill levels.

We’re looking for a talented tackle guru to manage, grow, and enhance our fishing tackle inventory.

Someone who loves building relationships, forecasting, and trying out new tackle.

Experience in the tackle industry is important – along with creativity, leadership, a strong work ethic, and a talent for simplifying systems and processes.

Unlike most fishing tackle stores, we go very deep into a relatively small amount of SKUs. So the ability to forecast demand based on historical data analysis in our systems as well as in Excel is very important.

Great jobs like this come along once in a lifetime.

Don’t let this one slip by…
