Job Details

We are working with a client with massive growth plans who are looking for 2 brilliant sales managers. With the client looking to increase their sales turnover 10 fold in the next few years, these roles put you in a great position to really be part of something massive!

Working for my client you will be tasked in going out and selling some very exclusive and well known brands in a mix of Retail, On-trade and wholesale accounts. Reporting directly into the Managing Director and the scope to hopefully gain line management experience and to move up within the company by providing great performance.

This is a really exciting role where the sky really is the limit. If you can gain accounts and increase sales then the opportunities to grow are endless, this really could be the start of something big!

So what are they looking for?

Its all about the person, you need to be resilient, strategic, driven, have the ability to think creatively about which customers to approach and have a keen eye for detail and marketing hopefully. You will be a self started but also be able to work as a team as you will be working together to sell different brands into different clients.

A couple years experience of sales is needed at least but the contacts aren't a necessity. This really is a role focused on the right person with the right attitude. 

If this sounds like the right role for you then please apply below or send me your CV and get in touch at james@foodindustryassociates.com

Company

For over a decade now, Food Industry Associates Ltd have proven to be a recruiter of choice for ambitious SME food and beverage manufacturers across the UK.  We don't recruit for the big corporates by choice.  Instead, we choose to work with companies with personality, entrepreneurial flare (not process), looking to disrupt the market with cutting edge innovation to provide consumers with better, healthier choices.

Are you an early stage start-up struggling to find the right solution to help you gain your fist listings in a specific customer channel before you can raise the budget to employ somebody on a permanent basis?  Maybe you know you need to source a commercial leader but aren't 100% clear in what format, or how to adequately incentivise somebody from a much larger business to join your mission?  Come speak to us.

If you're a more established business looking to bring fresh talent on board to drive ambitious sales targets, source a creative innovator to help you drive in to new extended categories, or looking to strengthen in marketing / category terms, again, come speak to us.

We've a proven record in recruiting talent for an array of businesses, helping them source commercial talent to help them achieve their goals.  From early stage sales talent through to equity-incentivised leadership roles, we've proven time and time again to find the right people for our clients at the first attempt.  

How are we different to most of our competitors?  Unlike most, we don't have as diverse a portfolio of clients we work with.  However all those we do work with continuously come back to us whenever they next have another need.  In our opinion successful recruitment is achieved when two businesses truly 'partner' and collaborate together.  In our opinion the better we know you, the better we understand all the extra elements aside from simple skillset and experience to ensure the right 'fit' is identified at the first attempt.  In our opinion, this is recruitment, done properly.
