This is a role for someone who likes being in the middle of the action.

Routes rolling. Drivers moving. Customers being served.
Every day is active. Every decision matters.

At Bigfoot Beverages, the Vending Manager runs the Bend vending operation — not from the sidelines, but from the field, the warehouse, and the daily rhythm of the business. You’re leading drivers, keeping routes optimized, solving problems in real time, and constantly finding ways to make things run smoother tomorrow than they did today.

You won’t inherit chaos.

You’ll inherit momentum — and the opportunity to sharpen it.
