How challenged are you feeling at the moment? Are you being encouraged to reach for all that’s possible or held back because of red tape, or perhaps a way of working that doesn’t inspire thought leadership or a forward-thinking approach?
We’re on the hunt for some real talent in the FMCG space who reside in the North West and can commute into South Manchester. A talented Sales/ Account Manager who understands the lay of the land within Food Service (HORECA specifically) and someone who is ready to set the agenda themselves and carve the way forward for a scale-up FMCG Brand who is on a mission to educate and provide a genuine alternative to how things have always been done! They’re already fairly well established and have ensured their growth in a very profitable way now looking to double in size of the next 5 years so a very exciting time to join!
This is a premium F&B Brand who are Manchester based and will see you on a journey of education and value based selling offering a genuine alternative to allow your customers to stand out and offer something refreshingly different to their customer base.
To succeed here you need to be able to demonstrate you can think differently. You push for more, ask why and question what is considered the norm working closely with your team of two!
