Are you a star at building relationships? Are you a natural at selling?

We have an exciting opportunity to join our PepsiCo AFH Team. Visiting various establishments including bakeries, coffee shops, pubs, leisure centres and more, you will identify & deliver opportunities for growing customer distribution, improving availability & visibility, leading to increased sales of the PepsiCo portfolio including Doritos, Walkers, 7 Up & Pepsi Max.

Great organisation and time management will be essential in this role, being responsible for your own diary, managing your time effectively visiting cash & carry, existing customers and targeting new customer prospects. You will be a confident seller with a keen eye for detail ensuring best product placement in store, whilst keeping up to date with key trends & observations within the sub-channels you are working.

What’s in it for you?

We recognise that people are the key to our success. That’s why we make sure everyone at McCurrach enjoys continuous support, great perks and excellent career development opportunities. Some of the key perks include:

Who are we looking for?

Our top performers are confident, results-driven and super-organised.

You will be a self-starter and be comfortable working independently.
