Job description

Proud of our Irish roots, we're on a mission to create a tastier, creamier and superior oat drink. We're an Irish company that sells oat-based products. We were unhappy with the taste and quality of plant-based products on the market so we said we'd make a better one ourselves. This took us on a journey longer than we imagined to create a quality oat drink we could be proud of. The quality of our oats, from seed to sip, is what makes us unique. We've spent five years developing a world-class product and believe we have something unique to bring to the market with sales across Dublin, Belfast, London, Paris and Athens. We are looking for an energetic and ambitious Business Development Manager to join our team.

The Role:

An exciting and rare opportunity has arisen to join the hottest oat drink brand on the block as a Business Development Manager. You'll be responsible for managing sales in your territory and driving the business forward. The role is focused on driving sales and opening new accounts across Leinster, Munster and Connacht. You’ll be experienced at managing and building relationships with senior stakeholders. You'll also be our point of contact for our distributors in your territory. We’re looking for someone who is commercially focused and driven to deliver results with full responsibility for your territory.

You’ll be meeting with key distribution partners, prospecting foodservice accounts (with a focus on the café channel), sampling our products with them and closing sales. Your focus will be on the selling; our distributors will focus on the deliveries. You'll also manage the admin side of your customers on Salesforce and be flexible to attend the odd event in the evening or at the weekends. Prior sales experience within the food industry is a must along with a solid understanding of specialty coffee and the café channel.

If you're a great salesperson who loves being out on the road while have a proven experience of delivering in a commercial environment and think you'd be a good fit culturally - we want to talk to you!

The Vital Ingredients:

• Minimum of three years sales experience within the food industry.
• Working knowledge of specialty coffee - the café landscape, key players, and what matters to café owners and baristas.
• Commercially driven, with a proven track record.
• Experienced at building relationships with senior stakeholders.
• Based in the greater Dublin area.
• Have a full, clean driving license.
• Energetic and ambitious.
• If yes to all the above, you're well on the way to being a 'devoatee'.
• We're looking for self-starters who thrive on getting out and chatting to customers and closing sales.
• Work ethic and attitude are everything for this role.

Our Culture:

We hire people who are hard-working, honest, and most of all, sound. We strive to create a team where everyone can voice their opinions and are empowered to be their true selves. It's everyone's unique attributes that make up Oatier's recipe for success and feed our energy. If this sounds like a good fit for you, why not say hello?

The Offer:

• Competitive salary with results-linked bonus structure.
• Fully expensed travel (in your own yellow van).
