Overview

Field Sales & Brand Ambassador - Bologna

Italy, Greater Bologna Region

Our mission

In 2016, our founders wanted to feed their dogs - named Edgard and Cooper - pet food they could feel good about. The kind of food that was as good for the planet as it was for their pets. But when they couldn't find this, they decided to make their own. Now, 9 years later, our pack has 200 employees and we are beyond proud to be part of the B Corp movement.

What type of breed are we looking for?

Do you believe pets deserve better food and love turning that belief into action? We’re looking for a natural-born connector to grow Edgard & Cooper’s presence in Bologna.

As our new Field Sales & Brand Ambassador, you’ll be the bridge between our brand and the shops that share our values. Your days will mix relationship-building with strategic hustle : nurturing existing retail partnerships, solving problems before they arise, and making sure every partner feels supported.

But you won’t stop there. You’ll also scout exciting new locations to welcome into the Edgard & Cooper family, using your charm and know-how to show store owners why our products belong on their shelves. Whether it’s coaching staff, planning local promotions, or simply being the friendly face of our brand, you’ll turn retail spaces into pet nutrition hotspots.

If you’re the kind of person who gets energy from connecting with others, loves seeing tangible results from your work, and maybe sneaks a treat to the shop’s resident dog – this could be your perfect match.

What will be in your bowl?

• Hunt for new pet shops & stores to partner with Edgard & Cooper – find the best spots in your region!
• Convince store owners to join us – show them why pets (and their humans) will love our natural food.
• Transform stores into Edgard & Cooper hotspots – set up eye-catching displays, run tastings, and launch local promotions.
• Train shop teams – teach them all about our products so they sell with confidence.
• Share what’s happening locally – tell us about competitors, customer feedback, and cool ideas for the region.
• Run fun local events – bring our national campaigns to life in your area (think pet parties, sampling days!).
• Be the face of Edgard & Cooper – chat with store staff, pet parents, and make friends everywhere.
• Track your wins – report which activities drive sales and where we can improve.

What skills & tricks should you bring?

• 1+ year experience in field sales, account management, or a similar role where you’ve built relationships and driven results
• A passion for connecting with people – you’re as comfortable chatting with store owners as you are sharing our story
• Natural storyteller – you make our mission (and products) irresistible (Italian native + English fluent)
• Negotiation skills – you find win-win solutions that grow partnerships
• Organized & proactive – you manage your territory, time, and targets with focus
• Problem-solving mindset – when challenges pop up, you’re already on it
• Tech-friendly – MS Office (especially Excel) is part of your toolkit
• Must-haves : Driving license (your region is waiting) + based near Bologna (you know the local landscape)

For this position only candidates with the right to work in their location will be considered and visa sponsorship is not available.
