Do you thrive on building relationships, uncovering new opportunities, and taking pride in watching your impact grow across well-known, branded products? This isn’t your average BDE role. We’re looking for a self-motivated go-getter who’s ready to hit the road, bring in business, and make some serious noise in the convenience and forecourts market . What You’ll Be Doing: Own your patch - 3 days a week on the road visiting established and new clients across the UK (mainly North-based), with 2 days in Northwest at HQ for planning and admin. Upsell and expand - Drive growth with existing customers (like forecourts, Spar groups, and leisure sites) by promoting well-known branded hot food-to-go products. Lead with impact - Deliver new distribution opportunities, promotional planning, and margin management with real ownership. Be the face of the brand - Attend events, network, and champion our exciting portfolio at the front line. Take control - Manage everything from samples and supply issues to promotions and monthly sales reporting. What We’re Looking For: 1–2 years business development experience - ANY industry, ANY background (recruitment? service? product sales?)- if you know how to win new business and keep clients happy, we want to hear from you. Character over CV - You’re enthusiastic, entrepreneurial, and love a challenge. We want fire, ambition, and someone who sees this role as a launchpad, not a landing pad. A real 'hunter-gatherer' mindset - You know how to prospect, pitch, and close, and you thrive on the chase. Organised and self-managed - You’ll need strong planning skills to balance time on the road and behind the laptop. Team spirit - You’ll collaborate with marketing, field sales, NPD and other teams to deliver the bigger picture. Location & Logistics: Ideally based north of Birmingham - with Manchester being the sweet spot. Hybrid role with two days in NW-based office - Stay covered by company UK travel required - but your core patch will be in the North. Why Apply? You’ll work with some of the biggest names in convenience and retail. You'll be joining a fast-paced, commercially driven environment where passion, enthusiasm, and results are recognised. You won’t be standing still. There’s real opportunity here- we want someone who’s going places, not someone who's just going through the motions.
