Job Details
The role
If you have had enough of being beaten by retailers and fighting hard to manage a declining or flat category then this could be the Field Sales Manager role for you.
This is a high profile and strategically important FSM role in the UK region of this growing business. The branded product range my client has is a big footfall driver for retailers, so often retailers approach this brand to stock the products. . You will have high levels of autonomy and input into the wider strategic direction of this account and will need to work closely with all the other departments in the company in order to build and drive this strategy.
There is good progression with this business and as sales are strong and the company is in growth.
Home based but ideally South East.
About you
We are looking for a Field Sales Manager who has come from a bluechip background, can demonstrate good progression & results to date but is looking to get a wider breadth of skills and wants to do something slightly different to a ‘standard’ NAM role. This role can quickly develop into a much larger position so we are looking for someone that has the capability to learn & move up as quickly as the company needs them to.
You will need to be able to influence internally as well as externally as there are lots of different departments involved in this account base. There are not lots of processes or structures so if you enjoy autonomy and fast decision making – this could be the role for you.
Degree educated, ideally with food experience however, calibre is more important than category.
South East based.
The client
Renowned for attracting top tier talent, my client are a global organisation that don’t over engineering processes. They are fast paced, have a biased for action and look after their people really well. They promote from within [which is why this role has come about] and offer fast track careers. Most of their senior leadership team have grown up through the business and this company are not afraid to take risks, challenge the status quo and do things differently.
Salary
c.£65 000 basic, car/allowance, bonus and benefits
