Global Paper Hygiene Manufacturer
Looking for your first significant sales leadership opportunity?
Or perhaps you're already leading a team and looking for a role with greater responsibility, influence and long-term progression?
If so, then keep reading…
You'll be joining a global manufacturer behind some of the world's most recognisable brands in workplace hygiene, washroom and wiping solutions — including Andrex®, Kleenex®, Scott®, WypAll®, Kimtech® and more.
And this role sits right at the heart of the business.
Not because of the size of the team you'll lead...
But because of the long-standing customer relationships you'll help strengthen.
The high-performing team you'll continue to develop.
And the future leaders you'll help create.
Because in this market, people still buy from people.
So if you enjoy developing individuals, building genuine partnerships and creating long-term relationships built on trust...
You'll feel right at home here.
You can learn more below…
WHAT YOU WILL BE DOING
Working under the Sales Leader for the Distribution Channel, you'll lead one of the business's key teams responsible for Independent Distributors and Buying Groups throughout the UK.
You'll inherit an established, successful team of 4 people.
And make no mistake... this is not a turnaround role.
The foundations are already there.
You'll be joining a team that is already performing well, giving you the opportunity to focus on development, growth and long-term success rather than firefighting.
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.
Your opportunity is to build on that success by coaching, developing and inspiring an already high-performing team to reach the next level.
Alongside leading your team, you'll work closely with some of the UK's largest buying groups, independent distributors and family-owned businesses, developing long-term commercial partnerships that create sustainable growth for everyone involved.
You'll also work closely with colleagues across Sales, Marketing, Category, Supply Chain and the wider commercial team to maximise growth opportunities across the distribution channel.
In short:
You'll lead one of the business's most relationship-driven commercial teams, helping shape both its people and its future direction.
YOUR NEW HOME
You'll be joining the professional division of one of the world's largest workplace hygiene manufacturers.
Their products are trusted daily by organisations across Facilities Management, Manufacturing, Healthcare, Hospitality and Commercial workplaces throughout the UK and beyond.
Today, the business is entering an exciting new chapter following a significant strategic partnership with one of the world's largest pulp manufacturers.
It's one of the biggest developments the industry has seen in years.
And for the successful candidate?
For the successful candidate, it represents an opportunity to join at exactly the right time and play a part in shaping the next chapter of the business.
YOUR PROGRESSION
Career development is taken seriously here.
Every employee benefits from a structured Focused Development Plan (FDP), designed to help define and achieve long-term career ambitions.

Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
The proof is in the people.
The UK & Ireland Commercial Director joined the business as a graduate before progressing through multiple leadership positions to reach where he is today.
There are countless examples of employees who have built long-term careers within the organisation, progressing into increasingly senior roles over many years.
Progression isn't based on luck.
It isn't about waiting for someone to retire.
It's actively planned, supported and encouraged.
And you'll become a key part of helping bring your own team's career ambitions to life too.
WHAT YOU NEED IN ORDER TO APPLY
Firstly...
You don't need to have led a sales team before.
This could be the perfect first step into sales leadership.
Or the ideal opportunity for an existing Sales Leader looking to step into a broader, more strategic leadership role.
More importantly, you'll be able to demonstrate:
- Strong commercial acumen.
- The ability to build genuine long-term relationships.
- Confidence negotiating with senior stakeholders.
- A passion for coaching and developing people.
- Strategic thinking and strong commercial judgement.
- High emotional intelligence.
- The ability to adapt your style between corporate organisations and independent, family-owned businesses.
You'll also have experience within the cleaning, hygiene, paper, facilities management or wider B2B distribution markets.
