Job Description:

In just three years, post start-up, already on plan to generate £6m annual sales in 2025, this founder-led healthy drinks business is on the hunt for a rockstar sales manager, the first in the company, with a passion for winning new business. The product range of branded soft drinks is a latest concept for consumers and the category, adapting to the trends in lifestyle ‘on the go’ beverages, which now tops a £multibillion category in the UK alone.

With the combination of a new challenger brand, a 10 strong organisation now in place, the opportunity in this growing, fast paced company is limitless. Now it has trained its sights on championing its product sector in the grocery and high street retail customer channels, whilst the online and D2C channels enjoy exponential growth.

Highly motivated by the daily interactions in the trade, you are a real Hunter, hustling for growth nationwide. You will love the thrill of seeking out deals and doing business with the likes of Booths, the Major multiples including Tesco, and Boots, Holland & Barrett, Wholefoods on the high street… the customer universe is endless!

A sales background from an FMCG environment today as an ambitious Sales Manager, you are now ready to step up. A hands-on working knowledge of grocery retail and high street channels, including new businesses, will be expected. You will be driven by your early career success and thrive in the spotlight, certainly not shy of real ownership and empowerment.

We are looking for natural sales skill and experience, and plenty of positive attitude, someone ready to step into this customer facing role. You’ll be known for your determination to achieve results and stand out from the crowd. Even better would be current knowledge of the soft drinks category.

This is your chance to make a name for yourself, your unbridled ambition, your commanding presence, and a down-to-earth realism to drive performance in your channel will earn you the unimaginable career rewards in the end.
