A leading supplier of premium desserts to the hospitality trade is seeking a Business Development Manager to cover Oxford, Cambridge, the Home Counties and North London.

  • Managing and growing existing accounts
  • Proactively developing new business opportunities with the right customers
  • Working closely with hospitality professionals to understand their menus and recommend products that elevate their dessert offering
  • Acting as a true ambassador for a business known for quality, innovation and service

We’re looking for someone who:

  • Has a background as a chef or in hospitality and is ready to explore a commercial path
  • Is passionate about food, especially desserts
  • Is confident in meeting people, presenting products, and building relationships
  • Understands the pace and expectations of kitchens and can speak the same language as chefs
  • Is motivated, reliable and capable of working independently on the road

What’s on offer:

  • Basic salary of up to £34,000
