Salary: £35,000–£55,000 Depending on Experience + Uncapped Commission + Annual Bonus + Car Allowance

Location: Birmingham (Hybrid / Field-Based)

Are you a driven B2B sales professional with a track record of winning new business in the food industry? Looking for an opportunity where your ambition is rewarded, your ideas are valued, and you have the freedom to make a genuine commercial impact?

We're working with an ambitious, growing food business that is looking to appoint a Sales Manager to help drive its expansion across the UK food manufacturing market.

This is a fantastic opportunity to join an established importer and distributor with an extensive portfolio of food products and ingredients, strong international sourcing capabilities and an exciting opportunity to develop new customer relationships.

Whether you're an experienced Sales Manager looking for greater autonomy or an ambitious sales professional ready to take the next step, this business offers the platform, support and earning potential to accelerate your career.

The Opportunity

You'll play a key role in developing the company's presence within the UK food manufacturing sector, identifying new commercial opportunities and building lasting relationships with manufacturers, buyers and procurement teams.

This is a genuine new-business-focused position, ideally suited to someone who enjoys opening doors, winning accounts and seeing the direct results of their efforts.

You'll benefit from an established business, an existing database of potential customers and an experienced commercial team, while having the freedom to develop your own opportunities and drive growth.

What You'll Be Doing

• Winning new business across the UK food manufacturing market.

• Identifying and approaching prospective customers, developing opportunities from initial contact through to conversion.

• Building strong relationships with buyers, procurement teams and key commercial decision-makers.

• Understanding customer requirements and identifying opportunities across an extensive food and ingredients portfolio.

• Negotiating pricing, volumes and commercial agreements to deliver profitable growth.

• Developing existing customer relationships and maximising account potential.

• Managing your sales pipeline, identifying market opportunities and consistently delivering against commercial targets.

• Working closely with the wider commercial and sourcing teams to deliver tailored customer solutions.

What We're Looking For

We're interested in speaking with ambitious, commercially minded individuals who have a genuine passion for sales and a proven ability to deliver results.

Ideally, you'll bring:

• 3–7 years of relevant B2B sales experience, although we're open to different levels of seniority.

• Experience selling food products or ingredients into UK food manufacturers.

• Exposure to relevant categories, including bakery ingredients or other food manufacturing supply markets.

• A demonstrable track record of new business wins, revenue growth and commercial achievements.

• Strong negotiation skills and an understanding of pricing, margins and volumes.

• Confidence engaging with buyers, procurement teams and senior commercial stakeholders.

• A proactive, tenacious and results-driven approach, with the ability to work independently.

Above all, we're looking for a natural new-business hunter. Someone who takes ownership, thrives on achieving targets and has the commercial instinct to turn opportunities into long-term partnerships.

What's On Offer?

• £35,000–£55,000 basic salary, depending on experience.

• Uncapped commission, paid monthly, with realistic additional earnings of £5,000–£7,000 annually.

• Additional annual performance bonus.

• £400–£500 monthly car allowance.

• Hybrid working, with a minimum of one day per week at the Birmingham office.

• An established business with extensive product sourcing capabilities and an existing customer lead database.

• Excellent opportunities for career progression as the business continues to grow.
