OUR CLIENT:
This is an exciting opportunity to join a market-leading, private equity-backed consumer business operating across the UK, Europe and Australasia.
Over the past 5-6 years, the business has been on an impressive growth journey following significant investment, evolving into a highly commercial organisation with a portfolio of well-known consumer brands and ambitious plans for continued growth.
Combining the backing of an established business with the agility of a challenger brand, they empower their people to take ownership, think commercially and make things happen in the field.
As part of continued investment into their commercial team, they are now looking to recruit a Regional Business Development Manager to take ownership of a newly created South territory.
ROLE OVERVIEW:
This is a highly autonomous field-based role where you'll be responsible for developing customer relationships, growing sales and delivering exceptional execution across your territory.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
- Working with independent accounts and key group accounts, you'll have the freedom to manage your own region, identify opportunities and make a genuine commercial impact.
- No two days will be the same. One day you'll be developing new business opportunities, the next you'll be helping customers maximise seasonal sales, improving in-store execution or working alongside colleagues to deliver group account initiatives.
You will also:
- Build and develop strong relationships with independent retail customers across your territory
- Drive sales, distribution and profitable growth
- Identify new business opportunities and maximise existing customer potential
- Deliver excellent merchandising and in-store execution
- Work closely with National Account Managers on key group accounts
- Use CRM to effectively plan, manage and prioritise your territory
- Analyse customer performance and identify commercial opportunities
- Take ownership of your region and continually look for ways to improve performance
The territory covers the South of England, with the ideal location being around Southampton, Portsmouth, Petersfield, Winchester, Farnham or the surrounding area, allowing easy access across the customer base.
REQUIREMENTS:
This role would suit someone who enjoys being out with customers, building relationships and managing their own territory.
