Business Development Manager

Working: Monday to Friday, 37.5 hours per week

Territory: Northampton, Luton, Leicester and surrounding areas

Your Roadmap: What You’ll Be Achieving

• Strategic Relationship Building: You won't just be visiting depots; you’ll become a trusted advisor to Depot Managers and key stakeholders, ensuring Nestlé is their first thought for every promotion.
• Data-Driven Influence: Use sophisticated insights and sales data to spot gaps in the market. You’ll pitch, negotiate, and close agreements that drive product availability and visibility.
• Mastering High Impact: From executing high-energy activation days and trade events to securing secondary displays for New Product Development (NPD), you’ll be responsible for making a measurable impact on the bottom line.
• Creative Execution: It’s not just about the sale; it’s about the "look." You’ll audit compliance, set up stunning displays, and report your results with "before and after" showcases that highlight your success to the wider business.

Why This is the Career Move You Need

• The Powerforce Culture: You’ll be part of a team that celebrates every success, offers a supportive community, and genuinely rewards performance.
• Growth & Progression: We provide full training and a clear career ladder within Powerforce to ensure that you can hit a whole new level of professional development.

• A Master Communicator - Someone who can walk into a depot or site and command the room with confidence and professional charm
• Sales-Savvy - Ideally, you have experience in FMCG (desirable), wholesale, or retail, but more importantly can you build strong relationships with key decision makers
• Resilient & Target-Driven - You don’t back down from a challenge; you find a way around it
• Mobile - A full UK driving license (held for at least 12 months) is essential to manage your territory
