Here at kff, we’ve got ambitious growth plans. If you want to be part of shaping the future of our independent business and join a team at the cutting edge of foodservice trends, then we have a fantastic opportunity for a Business Development Manager to join our Independent Sales Team.

What you’ll be doing:

• Scope out, hunt, and seal the deal with independent new business opportunities while maintaining a healthy pipeline.
• Cultivate strong connections with independent players in the local food market using your innate curiosity for all things foodie.
• Craft bespoke culinary propositions to help our customers save time and money.
• Drive growth by hitting profit targets and being rewarded accordingly.
• Welcome new clients with style and finesse, ensuring they feel at home with your Area Sales Manager buddy.
• Monitor competition and market trends to provide the hottest solutions and insights.

What we are looking for:

Ideally, you’ll come from a background similar to Field Sales, but this isn’t essential.

We seek individuals with a commercial mindset, drive, and ambition to make a difference by delivering against targets.

The customer must be at the heart of everything you do, so confidence in being out in the field is essential.

We offer a comprehensive induction program to train you on our products and business, so food service or hospitality experience is advantageous but not required.

We value diversity and aim to create an inclusive workplace. We want you to bring your whole self to work and help shape our culture.
