  • Support managing van sales reps
  • Reporting on sales performance and market trends

What we're looking for:

  • Field sales experience
  • Proven experience in business development or account management
  • Background in FMCG or food manufacturing preferred but not essential
  • Strong relationship builder with excellent communication skills
  • Self-motivated, results-driven, and comfortable working independently
  • Full UK driving licence

Package:

  • Quarterly performance bonus

If you're an ambitious sales professional who's passionate about the FMCG industry and enjoys a balance of nurturing existing accounts and developing new ones, we'd love to hear from you.
