Business Development Executive - FMCG Health & Wellness Brand

Manchester Area

• Company Car
• Field Based

Are you passionate about health and wellbeing? Would you like to combine this passion with working with a fantastic, market-leading business in the Health & Wellness sector?

This global FMCG business was founded in Sweden in 2008 and has since established a successful portfolio of brands in functional food and drinks all over the world, with year-on-year growth in the UK. Their business is all about Health and Wellness and is characterised by passion and an action-orientated working environment. Their brands are having great success which is giving rise to big company growth!

They are incredibly passionate that their products reflect their ethos - their people live in such a way that they represent the business to the best of their ability. If you are a positive person, curious and have an entrepreneurial spirit, you will love this opportunity.

We’re looking for a Field Sales Executive in a home-based role. You’ll join a small but rapidly growing team and focus on supporting customers based in Manchester and surrounding areas. We want a tenacious individual to help continue to grow their brands across retail, wholesale & convenience channels. Their products are already a household name in many fitness establishments, and they are looking to expand across all channels!

Culture and fit are absolutely everything to these guys. If you’ve had some sales experience that would be great, but it really is more about having the right attitude and the tenacity to develop those channels, be able to work collaboratively as part of the team, have a natural curiosity and always strive to improve and develop your own skills.

We’re looking for this:

• A sincere interest in being part of a rapidly developing team and appreciation for regular change.
• Open and friendly personality.
• Well organised with strong and clear communication skills
• Solution oriented

You’ll be doing this:

• Supporting, developing, and activating your area of customers across all channels (Wholesale, Convenience, Retail).
• Selling the existing range, new launches, and campaigns to customers in the retail, convenience & hospitality sector.
• Creating efficient and effective plans with commercial and brand guidance.
• Building & developing relationships with existing decision makers across key routes to market and wholesale partners to ensure customers and consumer needs are met.
• Maximising brand awareness and communicating new product opportunities.
• Ensuring promotional activity is implemented and identifying and implementing in-store merchandising opportunities to increase brand visibility & availability.

And you’ll need this:

• Some experience in a commercial setting or an obvious aptitude to learn.
• Be able to work effectively under one's own initiative.
• Passionate about finding new creative sales solutions together with your customers, and you believe in establishing long-term relationships.
• Ability to highlight and follow through with challenges and opportunities alike.
• Thrive on a high pace and quick decisions. You are socially skilled and humble towards both customers and colleagues.
• Thorough, structured, and with a high work ethic.
