Business Development Manager

Business Development Manager – Home/Field-based – Carmarthen / Swansea / West Wales

Up to £38,000 + uncapped bonus potential, company car or car allowance & home-based contract

Job Summary

Here at Brakes, we have ambitious growth plans so if you want to shape the future of our independent business, join our Independent Sales Team as a Business Development Manager.

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’re looking for:

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

We are looking for people who have a commercial mindset, who have 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 and out on 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 passionate about creating an inclusive workplace that celebrates and values diversity. Bring your whole self to work.

We are committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive culture where everyone has a voice, is appreciated and has the same opportunities. We work hard to ensure that everyone feels part of our business, and we recognise that Brakes can only thrive when everyone feels they belong.
