Business Development Manager

Business Development Manager – Home/Field-based – Darlington, Teesside and Whitby

Salary: Up to £35,000 + uncapped bonus potential, company car or car allowance & home-based contract.

Here at Brakes we have ambitious growth plans and want you to help shape the future of our independent business. If you’re excited to join a team at the cutting edge of foodservice trends, 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 while keeping the pipeline flowing
• Build strong relationships with independent players in the local food market using your curiosity for all things foodie
• Craft bespoke culinary propositions that help our customers save precious time and money
• Generate growth, hitting profit targets and earning rewards accordingly
• Welcome new clients with style and finesse, ensuring they feel right at home with their Area Sales Manager buddy
• Monitor competition and market trends to provide the hottest solutions and insights from the world’s biggest food wholesaler
• Achieve market goals with the enthusiasm of a seasoned foodie conquering a buffet

What we are looking for:

Ideally you’ll come from a similar background to Field Sales, but that’s not essential. We need commercial thinkers with the drive and ambition to meet targets and make a difference. Confidence on the field and a customer‑centric focus are essential. While food‑service or hospitality experience is advantageous, we provide comprehensive induction to equip you with product and business knowledge. We value people who help us grow and who can define our culture. Bring your whole self to work. #BelongAtBrakes.

Additional Information

We are committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive culture where everyone has a voice, is appreciated and has equal opportunity. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment.
