Ready to take your commercial kitchen experience in a new direction? If you're an experienced chef who understands how a professional kitchen really works and you've developed a strong commercial mindset along the way this could be an exciting opportunity to take your career beyond the kitchen.
We're working with a globally recognised manufacturer of premium commercial cooking equipment, renowned for innovation, quality and its impact on professional kitchens across the hospitality and catering industry.
They are looking for an enthusiastic Regional Sales Manager who can use their first-hand kitchen experience to build relationships, identify opportunities and help customers find better ways of working.
Why could this be right for you?
You already understand the pressures of a busy professional kitchen. You know what chefs need. You understand the challenges around labour, consistency, efficiency, food quality and kitchen costs. Most importantly, you can speak to chefs and kitchen operators in a language they understand.
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.
Now you could take that knowledge into a consultative B2B sales role, working with restaurants, hotels, pubs, care homes, schools, contract caterers and other professional foodservice operators.
The Role
As Regional Sales Manager, you will take ownership of your territory, develop relationships and create new commercial opportunities.
You'll work with:
- Executive, Head and Sous Chefs
- Kitchen Managers and Catering Managers
- Restaurant and Hotel operators
- Contract caterers
- Care homes and education
- Kitchen consultants
- Dealers and distribution partners
You'll be responsible for developing existing accounts while actively identifying and creating new business opportunities.
This isn't simply about selling equipment.
It's about understanding a customer's kitchen, identifying their challenges and demonstrating how the right solution can improve their operation.
