Area Sales Manager
We’re looking for an experienced and motivated Area Sales Manager to join our sales team and represent WEST across the East and North of Scotland.
This is a field-based role, with the majority of your time spent out visiting existing and prospective on-trade customers across your territory. You’ll manage and develop relationships with our existing customers, while identifying and securing new business opportunities to grow both volume and distribution.
You’ll be responsible for managing your own territory, planning customer visits, and developing new accounts, while working closely with the wider WEST team. As part of a small and ambitious sales team, you’ll have plenty of autonomy and the opportunity to make a real impact on the growth of the brand.
We’re looking for someone who genuinely loves beer, understands the importance of great customer relationships, and is motivated by commercial results. You’ll be representing WEST out in the market, so being confident, personable, and knowledgeable about our products is important.
