What's the role about?:
Business Development Manager
New Year. New Territory. New Wins.
Are you sitting at your desk wondering if 2026 is the year you finally make your move? If you are a sales professional with a talent for influencing and a hunger for growth, don’t just make a resolution - make a career change.
Powerforce is offering you the chance to step into a Business Development Manager role representing Nestlé, one of the world’s most iconic FMCG brands. This isn't just about maintaining a territory; it’s about taking total ownership of the Wholesale channel across (location) and starting the year with a world-class team behind you.
Your 2026 Roadmap: What You’ll Be Achieving
As a full time, permanent Business Development Manager covering TERRITORY LOCATION, you are the face of Nestlé within the wholesale environment. Your mission is to ensure that when a customer walks into a depot, Nestlé brands are front, center, and impossible to miss.
-
Strategic Relationship Building - You won't just be visiting depots; you’ll be becoming 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 the "Big Win" - 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 Refresh You Need
We know that a "New Year" career move needs to offer more than just a new title. At Powerforce, we provide a culture where your hard work is actually noticed.
-
The Powerforce Culture - You’ll be part of a team that celebrates every win, 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.
With A Package That Delivers:
-
Financials - Competitive £28k-£30.5k base + a performance bonus of up to 20%
-
The Tools - A company car to help you dominate your territory
-
Lifestyle & Wellbeing - 21 days holiday (plus bank holidays), Medicash, Enhanced Pension, Life Insurance, and the Cycle to Work scheme
-
Perks - Access to Perkbox and a Taste Card for those well-deserved meals out!
What We’re Looking For
We want someone who is ready to hit the ground running in January. You should be:
-
A Master Communicator - Someone who can walk into a depot and command the room with confidence and professional charm
-
Sales-Savvy - Ideally, you have experience in FMCG, wholesale, or retail, but more importantly, you have a "closer" mindset
-
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
