• Learn the craft – Get hands-on training in how to pitch, sell, and build strong customer relationships.
• Make an impact – Help us expand distribution, secure new stockists, and see your work on shelves and menus.
• Be creative – Support promotions, activations, and merchandising that bring our brand to life in stores.
• Grow with us – Work side by side with our sales team and distribution partners to see the business in action.

What we’re looking for

• Someone fresh out of school or uni (or looking for their first career step).
• Motivated and hungry to learn – we’ll train you on everything else.
• Confident, outgoing, and happy talking to new people.
• Organised and able to keep on top of a busy schedule.
• A team player who’s excited to grow with a local WA brand.

What we offer

• Fun, fast-paced industry – every day is different.
• Full one-on-one training with an experienced sales mentor.
• Learn the ins and outs of the FMCG world with a local company that’s going places.
