Job description

A small, family‑run business built around a simple belief: good food brings people together – is looking for a Sales & Marketing Executive to join the team.

What you’ll be getting stuck into

• Supporting and hosting live social selling sessions (including on‑camera work)
• Representing the business at consumer events, trade shows and live activations
• Supporting retailer outreach, follow‑ups, samples and account administration
• Helping plan campaigns, generate content ideas, support newsletters and influencer activity
• Assisting with event logistics, stock handling and on‑the‑ground brand delivery
• Being a warm, knowledgeable point of contact for customers and partners

What you’ll bring with you as Sales & Marketing Executive

• Experience in sales, marketing, retail, events or customer‑facing roles
• Confidence speaking to people in person, on camera and over the phone
• Some experience supporting sales activity, trade accounts or retail partners
• Strong organisational skills and the ability to juggle varied responsibilities
• A full UK driving licence and confidence driving for work purposes

Personal skills & competencies

• Enjoy working in a small, growing business where things evolve and improve over time
• Are proactive, practical and happy to roll your sleeves up when needed
• Can manage your own time and priorities, while staying flexible as plans change
• Communicate clearly, kindly and honestly – even when things feel busy
• Are resilient, solution‑focused and not afraid of learning as you go
• Can give and receive constructive feedback and reflect on your own development
• Are, on the whole, a “glass half full” person (with space for being human too)

A love of food really matters here

They are a food business, and a genuine love of cooking, flavour and food culture is important to them. You don’t need to be a chef – but you do need to enjoy talking about food, sharing ideas, and getting excited about what’s in the pan.

What’s in it for you

• A varied role across sales, marketing, events and live selling
• Hybrid working with time in our Liverpool office and flexibility built in
• Training and support across live presenting, social selling and sales activity
• UK travel opportunities for shows, events and activations
• Real scope to grow as the business – and the role – evolves
