What your day might look like

As a key ambassador for Univar Solutions, you’ll spend your day building meaningful connections and driving real commercial impact. You’ll reignite relationships with previously active accounts through on‑site visits, working to win back lost business and restore trust. Alongside this, you’ll actively seek out fresh opportunities – identifying, qualifying, and converting new prospects into long‑term, loyal customers within your territory.

Your role will centre on expanding a healthy, diverse customer portfolio and product mix, ensuring sustainable, profitable growth. You’ll regularly visit customers to deliver an exceptional, face‑to‑face sales experience, from the initial introduction right through to successful delivery. You’ll take ownership of your performance, consistently pushing toward revenue and engagement targets with energy and initiative.

Behind the scenes, you’ll maintain accurate, insightful CRM records that support strong decision‑making and transparency across the team. You’ll keep forecasts, reports, and plans up to date and delivered on time. And throughout all your activities, you’ll follow company policies and procedures, ensuring full compliance with relevant legislation.

About You

You're a driven, competitive self‑starter who loves winning new business just as much as you enjoy nurturing and growing existing accounts. Curious by nature and disciplined in your approach, you're always learning, always improving, and always pushing for that next level of performance.

Targets motivate you and you consistently hit them. You excel in face‑to‑face conversations, building instant rapport and long‑lasting relationships. Your negotiation skills are strong, your commercial instinct is sharp, and you know how to close deals with confidence and clarity.

Entrepreneurial and proactive, you thrive on getting out there: visiting customers, knocking on doors, picking up the phone, and creating opportunities where others don't see them. You listen deeply, earn trust quickly, and truly understand what customers need to deliver real, measurable value.

Organised, structured, and relentlessly results‑driven, you bring energy, resilience, and persistence to every day – and you don't stop until the deal is done.
