Business Development Manager

JR United Kingdom; Kendal; On-site; GBP 29,000 - 35,000; Full time

Job description

Business Development Manager - Home/Field-based - Cumbria and Lake District

Up to £35,000 + uncapped bonus potential, company car & home-based contract

Here at Brakes, we’ve got ambitious growth plans. If you want to be part of shaping the future of our independent business, joining a team at the cutting edge of foodservice trends, then we have a fantastic opportunity for a Business Development Manager to join our Independent Sales Team.

What you’ll be doing:

• Scope out, hunt, and seal the deal with fresh, independent new business opportunities whilst keeping that pipeline flowing.
• Cultivate killer connections with independent players in the local food market using your innate curiosity for all things foodie.
• Craft bespoke culinary propositions to help our customers save precious time and money.
• Serve up some tasty growth, hitting those profit targets and being rewarded accordingly.
• Welcome aboard new clients with style and finesse, making sure they feel right at home with your Area Sales Manager buddy.
• Keep an eye on the competition and independent market trends, so you can dish out the hottest solutions and insights from the world's biggest food wholesaler.
• Crush those market goals like a seasoned foodie conquering a buffet!

What we are looking for:

Ideally, you’ll come from a similar background to Field Sales; however, this isn’t essential.

We are looking for people who have a commercial mindset and the drive and ambition to make a difference to the business by delivering against targets.

The customer will be at the heart of everything you do, so being confident out in the field is essential.

We have a great induction programme where we will teach you everything you need to know about our products and the business, so although food service experience/hospitality would be advantageous, you’ll get the training you need to succeed.

We’re not just looking for a good fit; we want people who help to make us even better. We’re passionate about creating an inclusive workplace that celebrates and values diversity. We don’t want you to ‘fit’ our culture; we want you to define it. Bring your whole self to work. #BelongAtBrakes.
