Durham, County Durham, United Kingdom Brakes Full time
Job Description

Business Development Manager - Home/Field-based - Durham

Up to £35,000 + uncapped bonus potential, company car & home-based contract

Here at Brakes, we’ve got ambitious growth plans so if you want to be a part shaping the future of our independent business, joining a team at the cutting edge of foodservice trends then 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 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 are looking for;

Ideally, you’ll 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 heart of everything you do, so being confident being 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 not just looking for a good fit, we want people who help to make us even better. We’re passionate about creating an inclusive workplace that celebrates and values diversity. We don’t want you to ‘fit’ our culture, we want you to define it. Bring your whole self to work. #BelongAtBrakes.
