Business Development Manager | FMCG | B2B Sales | Foodservice | Wholesale | Retail | Distribution
Manchester | Hybrid
Most sales roles ask you to hit a target. This one asks you to build something.
You'll work with a huge array of FMCG products across food and non-food, and take ownership of new business development across foodservice, wholesale, retail and distribution. You'll also have the freedom to decide how you grow it. The strategy isn't handed to you. You'll shape it.
You'll inherit a handful of customers with genuine growth potential, while focusing on winning new B2B business. With a huge FMCG product range behind you, you'll be able to recommend alternative products, solve supply challenges, maximise margins and uncover opportunities that competitors simply can't.
And this isn't where it stops.
As the business grows, so will your role. You'll have the autonomy and budget to recruit, develop and lead your own sales team, giving you the chance to create the culture and performance standards you believe in. This is a brand new role in the business, and you decide where it leads.
As Business Development Manager you'll be:
* Winning new business across foodservice, wholesale, retail and/or distribution.
* Growing existing accounts through commercial account management.
* Identifying opportunities to maximise sales, increase profitability and reduce waste through alternative product solutions.
* Negotiating profitable deals while protecting margins.
* Building and leading a high-performing sales team as the business expands.
You'll bring:
* A proven track record of winning new B2B business.
* Experience selling products
* Previous success selling into foodservice, wholesale, retail or distribution.
* Experience leading or mentoring a small sales team.
* Strong commercial acumen that goes beyond simply closing deals.
If you're looking for another sales management role, this probably isn't it.
If you're looking for the opportunity to build, influence and grow a sales function with genuine autonomy, this Business Development Manager role could be the one for you.
