Looking for a career within sales? Interested in a career within an FMCG fast-growing challenger brand? Are you a new graduate looking for an exciting start to your career and not sure where to start?

Well, this could be your dream job before Christmas!

Signature Career Management are partnered with an exciting challenger brand based in Manchester, who are looking for a Sales Manager to join the business as they continue to expand. This is a chance to kickstart your career in sales with responsibility from day one and to be part of an up-and-coming business that invests in people who are looking for more out of their career.

Whether you already have experience in FMCG, or you’re totally new to the industry but have a passion for sales, this is not one to miss out on!  These guys mean business and looking for people who believe what they believe, and if you know what you want out of life and want to accelerate your career far more quickly than your peers, this is going to be the place to do just that.  You’ll see your efforts with retailers and your products online, as well as the lives you touch from delivering a far superior product than the rest of the market!

Now … this is not for someone who is looking to coast or who wants ‘just a job’.  No, this is not for you.  This is a full on, scrappy, not enough hours in the day, scale up brand.  You’re either going to love it, or hate it.  Like marmite really.  Are you a marmite lover?? If you are… this is going to be so rewarding and you’ll learn and achieve in 2 years what most do in 5!

In short, this Sales Manager role will see you supporting and driving the success of the sales team while helping to shape the future of a challenger FMCG brand that’s already making a difference to so many lives!  You’ll be working across a variety of customers and channels, ensuring growth and strong relationships, with the opportunity to travel internationally to trade shows and to visit customers.

This role will see you

·        Supporting the wider sales team in day to day activity

·        Building and maintaining relationships with key retail and wholesale partners

·        Identifying new business opportunities contributing to sales strategy

·        Monitoring performance, reporting on KPIs, and ensuring targets are met

·        Acting as a brand ambassador, representing the company at events and trade shows

What are we looking for?

·        A motivated graduate or early-career professional with a passion for sales.

·        An Entrepreneurial individual who is looking to make their mark!

·        Someone who is independent, however is not afraid to ask questions when needed.

·        Willing to get your hands dirty…. it is a challenger brand …you are involved in everything!  (No joke!)

Sound interesting?

To reiterate – this is scale up brand at its best, it’s scrappy and isn’t your standard 9-5. BUT… so rewarding!  We’re looking for someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment where every day brings something new. You’ll need to be resilient and adaptable, with the confidence to roll up your sleeves and get stuck in. Working with a challenger brand means you’ll be hands-on across the board, and no two days will ever look the same. Exciting right?!
