Own the territory. Win the space. Make an impact.

The Advocate Group are proud to be exclusively partnering with a leading global drinks business as they continue an exciting period of growth and expansion across the UK.

This isn't a "visit store and take an order" role.

This is about impact.

You'll take ownership of your territory, driving distribution, availability, visibility and activation across the convenience channel. You'll be the person who makes the brand stand out in-store, building strong relationships with retailers and identifying opportunities to grow sales.

The role

You'll run your area like your own business, from stock management to spotting commercial opportunities, building relationships and delivering against clear performance targets.

• Increasing product facings and availability across your territory
• Expanding product ranges and securing additional listings in-store
• Creating standout in-store execution through POS materials and secondary displays
• Bringing promotions to life to drive rate of sale
• Building and maintaining strong relationships with independent retailers
• Identifying new business opportunities and growing existing accounts
• Feeding back real-time market insights and competitor activity
• Managing territory activity and reporting in line with company standards

A fast-paced, high-activity field sales role where resilience, ownership and consistency are everything, and where you'll see the results of your work in-store every day.

Who this suits

• FMCG or field sales professionals looking for greater autonomy, ownership and the opportunity to represent a leading consumer brand

OR

• Ambitious individuals from retail, convenience or hospitality backgrounds who are ready to take their first step into a field sales career

You'll bring:

• High energy, ambition and a competitive mindset
• Strong relationship-building and persuasive selling skills
• The confidence to work independently and take ownership of your territory
• A proactive, commercially minded approach to identifying opportunities
• Resilience, determination and a solution-focused attitude
• A full UK driving licence and confidence driving a commercial vehicle

What's on offer:

• £34,500 basic salary
• 25% performance-based quarterly bonus opportunity
• Fully expensed vehicle for business use
• The opportunity to represent a leading brand within the FMCG sector
• Comprehensive training, ongoing development and genuine career progression
• A high-energy, performance-driven environment where your contribution is recognised

If you want a role where you're out in the market, building relationships, driving results and taking ownership of something that's visibly yours, this is an opportunity to make a real impact.
