Job description

Location: The ideal candidate will ideally live within 30 minutes of the Depot in Hemel Hempstead.

At Bobby's, we're one of the UK's leading direct-to-store snack suppliers, delivering a £95 million range of sweets, cakes and savoury snacks to convenience stores across the country. Every day, our iconic vans head out loaded with the nation's favourite treats, making sure shelves stay full and snack emergencies are avoided.

Of course, none of that happens by magic (although our depot teams do perform miracles before most people have had their first coffee), it's all thanks to our brilliant Sales team out on the road and the fantastic colleagues behind the scenes who keep everything running like a well-stocked sweet shop.

We're growing, and business is going, well ... pretty crackers, so we're looking for another brilliant person to join the team.

If your idea of a great day involves meeting people, building relationships and spending less time staring at office walls, you've come to the right place. Around here, there are no corporate robots or endless meetings that could've been an email. Just good people, plenty of laughs, lots of teamwork and a shared mission to keep Britain's corner shops and snack cupboards topped up.

We're looking for a Sales Representative to join our team based at our North London depot in Hemel Hempstead. You'll have your own portfolio of convenience stores across your territory, helping customers stock the products shoppers love, spotting new opportunities, upselling and helping your customers understand the popular snacks and trends.

It's a busy, rewarding Monday to Friday role where no two days are ever the same and the miles fly by.

If you've got bags of enthusiasm, enjoy chatting to people and fancy a career that's got a bit more bite than the average sales role, we'd love to hear from you.

Go on... treat yourself! This could be the sweetest career move you'll make!

The successful candidate will ideally live within 30 minutes of the Depot in Hemel Hempstead.

Your typical working day will include:

• The working day (we operate Monday – Friday), will see you visiting a variety of existing customers, ensuring they have the products they are looking for and promoting/selling new products or promotions
• Providing first class customer service to new & existing customers
• Generating sales delivered directly from the van and partly from central distribution
• Expanding the product range, selling new products and promotions, replenishing existing lines
• Improving product siting and presentation in store with the customer
• Canvassing of new customers in your area
• Completing paperwork for each customer

Ideal Candidate:

• An out-going personality and good people skills.
• Ability to build relationships and provide top class customer service.
• The right skills and/or experience to succeed in a sales role.
• A full UK driving licence is essential.
• Salary - £26,500 (gross) pa guaranteed with opportunity to earn higher commission and bonuses (circa £30-32K OTE).
• Monday to Friday role.
• Regular company incentives rewarding results.

• Full and extensive training programme followed by ongoing sales support.

There's plenty more to tuck into too, with a healthcare cash plan, Cycle2Work scheme, paid volunteering days and discounts at a wide range of retailers, restaurants, gyms and leisure attractions.

We're big on helping our people grow, whether that's through training, apprenticeships or professional qualifications. After all, the best thing in our mix isn't our snacks... it's our people.
