Junior Sales Executive – Specialty Ingredients | UK | £28–30k + £6–10k OTE
We’re building the UK commercial team for an established global ingredients business serving the nutraceutical and supplement sector. You’ll get the agility of a growing UK operation, backed by the reach and supply-chain depth of an international group.
They supply the people who make the products on the shelves: formulators, brand owners, contract manufacturers and retailers across the supplement and nutraceutical sector. This is your chance to get in early as they grow their UK presence.
This is a genuine career-builder role, not a churn-and-burn sales floor. The track here is Junior → Account Manager → Business Development Manager in 2–3 years, not 5+.
What you’ll be doing
- Building and managing relationships with supplement and nutraceutical customers across the UK
- Identifying new commercial opportunities and growing existing accounts
- Learning the full commercial cycle — sourcing, pricing, supply chain — from people who know the market
- Working to clear, achievable targets with commission on top of a solid base
Who we’re looking for
- Around 1–3 years’ commercial, sales or account experience — or a strong graduate ready to learn (science, nutrition or food-science backgrounds are a real plus, but not essential)
- A confident communicator who enjoys building relationships
- Curious, coachable and ambitious to progress quickly
- No portable client book required — we want potential, not a pre-built network
What you’ll get
- £28,000–£30,000 base + £6,000–£10,000 OTE in year one
- Hybrid working
- Genuine progression with international exposure across a global group
- Early-stage role with real ownership as the UK team scales
