Territory Sales Manager

Territory: Midlands, Wales & South West England
Location: Field / Home Based
Salary: £43,473 + Company Car
Hours: 37.5 hours per week, with flexibility required

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced Territory Sales Manager to manage and grow a well-established sales territory across the Midlands, Wales, and South West England.

This is a highly autonomous, field-based role focused on winning new business, developing existing customer accounts, and delivering profitable year-on-year sales growth. We are seeking a candidate with experience of selling to wholesalers and if you have experience within the food industry, that would be a distinct advantage. Immediate availability is preferred.

Key Responsibilities

  • Manage existing accounts to identify additional product opportunities, increase sales, and maximise profitability.
  • Identify, develop, and convert new business opportunities across the territory.
  • Build strong relationships with key purchasing decision makers.
  • Grow sales within existing accounts.
  • Manage the full customer relationship from initial contact through to order, delivery, and payment.
  • Negotiate pricing and commercial terms while protecting margin.
  • Deliver agreed sales, margin, and new account targets.
  • Maintain effective territory and journey planning.
  • Monitor customer credit and ensure accounts remain within agreed payment terms.
  • Maintain accurate CRM records, sales pipeline information, and activity reports.
  • Work closely with internal sales, transport, production, and technical teams.
  • Resolve customer queries and complaints quickly and professionally.
  • Develop strong product, competitor, and market knowledge.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

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.
