This is a permanent full-time position that will become a key role in our Route Trade sales team, working with market leading brands such as Streets Ice Cream and Red Bull. To be successful, you must be able to work proactively and collaboratively in a fast-paced and constantly evolving market.

A successful candidate must be able to maintain and build strong relationships with suppliers and customers. We want the best, someone who achieves strong results within an FMCG environment. You'll need to be an effective communicator and have experience in creating workable strategies to maximize both sales and margins. We are looking for a highly motivated individual to complement our existing sales team.
