When you think of a sports nutrition brand, you probably won’t think of this one. Yet. Although they do already have a UK presence with 3 core distributors and ecom channel, there is much, much more to come.

Business development roles come in all shapes and sizes but this really is one worth looking at. With only one set of boots on the ground so far, this is your opportunity to make a BIG impact.

Make no mistake, you’re not working for a tiny new brand here. This business is huge internationally with world class manufacturing and production facilities and products sold in fitness establishments in over 100 countries to date. So there’s plenty of backing and support available to you.

Oh and you’ll get to travel to far flung shores for expos and to attend their head office and research centre. Nice.

Opportunity:

You’ll already be an experienced Business Development Manager with the skills to build fantastic relationships as well as seek out and engage with new partners across the FMCG space. These could range from retailers & wholesalers through to specialist health & wellness independents.

You’ll be doing this:

• Creating efficient and effective plans with commercial and brand guidance.
• Building & developing relationships with decision makers across key routes.
• Providing buying trends feedback to the Country Manager.
• Maximising brand awareness and communicating new product opportunities.
• Representing the brand at key trade and consumer shows, both in the UK and internationally.

And you’ll need this:

• Existing network across FMCG channels such as convenience, grocery or wholesale.
• Entrepreneurial with a can-do attitude.
• Passionate about sports and knowledge of the nutrition and supplement industry.
