This business really does have it all! Founded in 1987 in Europe, these guys have seen significant growth ever since then and now hold a market share of 38% in the soft drinks category. They are one of the top 10 FMCG brands in the UK.
  
Culturally, these guys live and breathe their brand, in fact, you can feel the passion oozing out of them when you get them talking about their product. With sports events, sports sponsorships, and festivals you’ll feel part of this great team and love coming to work every day.
  
Opportunity:
The business is well recognised within the On and Off-Trade market. The team is fantastic and has created a real buzz for the product - they now need someone to maintain the relationships they have built outside of London and take them to the next level, creating growth opportunities.
  
This is not your average Business Development Executive role; it’s about building the brand and creating a lasting relationship with your groups and ultimately helping grow the business. This role will see work within the On-Trade channel working closely with clients from bars, pubs, clubs, venue, and restaurant groups.
  
You will be responsible for driving availability, building, and maintaining customer relationships, whilst executing in-store sales and acting as an expert in their respective categories. You will also be responsible for working with all internal and external stakeholders to bring our sales and marketing plans to life.
  
It may be a big responsibility, but the right person will see this as an exciting chance to make a name for themselves in the industry, you’ll continuously develop your career, so ambition means you could progress very fast.
  
You:
This is without a doubt an exceptional opportunity for you to join an innovative, passionate, and well-known brand that really does look after its employees.
  
We want someone who knows the market and will share their passion for the brand and the Off-Trade environment.
  
These are the musts:

• Proven sales/negotiation skills
• A clear understanding of the On trade sales channel
• Commercial acumen, with the ability to utilise and understand category and financial insights
• Strong relationship-builder
• Strong presentation and communication skills
• Comfortable working autonomously and being out on the road
• FMCG experience is an advantage but not essential
