About FUNDAY

FUNDAY is Australia's #1 better-for-you confectionery brand, on a mission to share more joy and prove that better-for-you doesn't have to be boring!

Founded in Melbourne by entrepreneur Daniel Kitay, FUNDAY is shaking up the confectionery aisle by reimagining nostalgic favourites with a natural, better-for-you twist. From lollies to chocolate, we're proving you don't have to compromise on taste to make better-for-you choices.

Proudly Australian-born and growing fast, FUNDAY has achieved over $100 million in retail sales in the past 12 months, with products stocked in 7,000+ retailers across Australia and now Target stores across the US. We're an ambitious, innovative and fun-loving brand, and we're only just getting started.

About the role

This is where the action happens. As FUNDAY's Field Activation Representative, you'll be the one who brings every activation to life in store, turning plans into eye-catching displays that are impactful and drive sales. It's a critical role with a real, visible impact on FUNDAY's growth across Victoria, and every store you walk into is a chance to make the brand shine.

You'll report to and work hand in hand with the Victorian Regional Sales Manager, in a streamlined partnership built around one goal: nurturing every store manager relationship through efficient, effective, trustworthy and reliable execution of our commitments. When FUNDAY makes a promise in-store, you're the one who delivers it. It's a hands-on role with real responsibility from day one, and a front-row seat to how a fast-growing, founder-led brand is built across retail.

Our HQ is in Prahran, Melbourne however almost all of the role will be based out in the field.

What you'll do:

Activation & Display Execution

• Display magic - build eye-catching off-location displays that stop shoppers in their tracks and bring every FUNDAY activation to life.
• POS that pops - install point-of-sale on time and on brand, so every promotion lands in-store exactly as planned.
• Shelf perfection - keep FUNDAY on planogram, rotated and fully stocked, with every bag facing forward and looking its best.

Store Relationships

• Store manager champion - be the friendly face of FUNDAY in-store, building genuine, trusted relationships through regular visits and always doing what you say you'll do.
• RSM partner - work hand in hand with the Regional Sales Manager, following through on every commitment we make to our retail partners.
• Brand ambassador - share the FUNDAY story with store teams, bringing the energy and product know-how that keeps our range front of mind.

Compliance & Insights

• Eyes on the ground - check ranging, stock levels, pricing and display compliance on every visit, and chase down gaps fast.
• Picture-perfect proof - capture photos of every display and report back, so the whole team can see the wins in real time.
• Field intel - share what you're seeing in-store - from activity in the category to shopper reactions - to make the next activation even better.

Additional Duties & Field Support

• Promotional activations - supporting the setup and execution of larger in-store activations, product launches and promotional displays.
• In-store sampling - assisting with product sampling activities to drive brand awareness and encourage customer trial.
• Retail compliance checks - conducting store visits and compliance checks across other key retail partners, to ensure products are ranged, stocked, correctly priced and presented to brand standards.
• General field support - assisting the wider sales and marketing team with additional in-store activities and projects as required.

Flexibility, a proactive attitude and a willingness to assist across different areas of the business will be important aspects of this role.

What you’ll bring

• A can-do attitude - you roll up your sleeves, back yourself and find a way to get it done, whatever the day throws at you.
• A genuine love for FUNDAY - you're excited by what we stand for and can't wait to share it with every store you walk into.
• A desire to grow with us - you're hungry to learn and keen to build your career alongside a fast-growing, founder-led brand.
• Sales or grocery experience is a plus - any background in sales, merchandising or the supermarket world will help, but it's not a must. Attitude matters more to us than a specific logo.
• A people person - confident, friendly and engaging, you build rapport with store teams easily and are reliable enough that they trust you to deliver.
• Field ready - a current driver's licence, and happy with hands-on, physical work on the road across Victoria.

Where this role can go

FUNDAY is scaling, and this role sits at the centre of it. It's a strong foundation for a career in sales, with exposure to account management, category, trade marketing and field execution. For someone who delivers, there's a genuine path into broader sales or marketing roles as the business grows. It's earned rather than automatic - but the runway is real.

The package

• Competitive base salary plus superannuation.
• Fully maintained company vehicle with fuel card and e-tag OR Car Allowance if suitable.
• Direct access to senior leadership in a fast-growing, founder-led Australian brand.
• Broad exposure across sales, activation and marketing to accelerate your career.

The FUN perks

• Sweet treats on us! Enjoy a $150 FUNDAY voucher every quarter to stock up on your favourites.
• FUN-Days! Twice a year, take a day off to do something FUN, with $100 towards an activity of your choice.
• Team lunches! Enjoy monthly team lunches in the office, on us.
• Birthday half day! Celebrate YOU with an extra half-day off to use within two weeks of your birthday.
