Lead from the front, not from behind a desk

Britain's shopping habits are changing, and we need a leader who wants to be right in the middle of it. Modern Milkman delivers farm-fresh, sustainably sourced goods straight to doorsteps across the UK, partnering with independent British suppliers to make ethical choices effortless.

We're looking for a Team Leader to build and grow our door-to-door sales team in Swindon — someone who wants to coach, hustle, and win alongside their people, not just manage a spreadsheet.

• Use data and reporting to spot trends, back your people, and make sharp calls
• Run regular 1:1s and team reviews
• Coach reps to hit (and smash) their targets
• Hold the team to Modern Milkman standards, and report on how you're getting there

Leading From the Front In the Field

• Get out on the doorstep with your team, every week
• Model the pitch, the objection handling, the resilience — show, don't just tell
• Build a field culture that's genuine, sustainable, and customer-first
• Coach in real time while hitting your own sales target

Recruitment & Building the Team

• Own your team's growth from screening through to onboarding
• Run assessment days and interviews, spotting the right D2D mindset
• Build a pipeline so your team scales sustainably as targets grow

Is this you?

• Based in or able to commute to Swindon, with a full UK driving licence (essential)
• Proven sales leadership, supervisory, or team captain experience (D2D or field sales strongly preferred)
• A track record of hitting your own targets, and helping others hit theirs
• Confident coaching and giving direct feedback
• Comfortable recruiting and interviewing
• Comfortable working with data and reports (Excel/Google Sheets or dashboards) to guide decisions
• Resilient and hands-on — happy on the doorstep whatever the weather
• Self-motivated with an entrepreneurial streak
