Do you spend far too much time reading food labels, discovering new wellness brands or talking about what’s good for your gut?
If food, nutrition and wellness genuinely interest you — and you also love the idea of a career in sales — this could be a brilliant place to start.
We’re working with an exciting, growing food business behind two premium brands specialising in fermented foods and nourishing broths. Their products are already stocked by some of the UK's best-known premium and health-focused retailers, and they are now looking for an ambitious graduate or early-career candidate to help grow their wholesale customer base.
This isn't a sitting-behind-a-desk sales role.
You'll be out meeting retailers, delis, farm shops and food businesses, introducing them to the products, organising tastings, attending events and building relationships. You'll learn how to sell, negotiate, develop accounts and spot new opportunities — while working with products you're genuinely interested in.
What we're looking for
You don't need years of sales experience. We're looking for someone with:
A genuine interest in food, nutrition, wellness and gut health
Lots of energy, enthusiasm and curiosity
A confident, outgoing personality
The resilience to hear "no" and keep going
A natural ability to build relationships
A commercial mindset and desire to learn
A willingness to get out there and meet people
You might be a recent graduate in nutrition, food science, marketing, business or something completely different. Your passion for the category and personality matter more than your degree.
What's on offer?
£34,000+, depending on experience, plus commission, travel expenses and potential use of a pool car.
You'll have the opportunity to learn from an established food group while working in a small, entrepreneurial business where you can genuinely make your mark.
If you know your kimchi from your kombucha, love discovering what's next in food and fancy turning that passion into a career, we'd love to hear from you.
