About Us
We are a newly established, high-growth food manufacturing business specialising in premium burger production for the UK retail and foodservice market. Operating from a state-of-the-art, highly automated facility, we are building a scalable, performance-led brand with ambitious plans to secure listings across major UK retail channels.
This is not a maintenance role within an established structure; it is a ground-floor commercial opportunity to help shape and build a business from day one.
The Opportunity
We are seeking an experienced, well-connected Senior Sales Executive from the meat, chilled food, or broader FMCG manufacturing sectors.
You will already have strong relationships within UK retail and foodservice buying teams and the ability to open doors, build trust, and convert opportunities into long-term commercial partnerships.
This is a rare opportunity to join at the very start of a business journey and play a direct role in building a new branded burger manufacturing operation with significant growth ambitions.
Key Responsibilities
- Drive new business across UK retail, foodservice, and wholesale channels
- Leverage existing relationships with UK supermarket buyers and foodservice groups
- Secure product listings, ranging agreements, and long-term commercial contracts
- Develop and manage key customer accounts at senior buyer level
- Work closely with technical, operations, and production teams to deliver customer requirements
- Identify market opportunities, category gaps, and emerging trends
- Represent the business in buyer meetings, presentations, and industry engagements
- Deliver against ambitious revenue and growth targets
- Provide ongoing commercial and market insight to senior leadership
Requirements
- 5–10+ years’ experience in meat, chilled food, or FMCG sales
- Proven track record of winning and growing UK retail accounts
- Strong existing network of UK retail and/or foodservice buyers (essential)
- Experience working with major UK supermarkets, wholesalers, or foodservice groups
- Strong understanding of chilled food manufacturing and supply chains
- Commercially driven with excellent negotiation and closing skills
- Entrepreneurial mindset with the ability to operate in a fast-growth environment
- Full UK driving licence
What We Offer
- A true ground-floor opportunity in a high-growth manufacturing business
- The chance to directly shape the commercial strategy and customer base
- Fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment with real influence over business direction
- Competitive base salary with strong performance-linked earning potential
- Long-term career progression as the business scales nationally
- A culture built on accountability, speed, and results
Pay: £24,420.00-£69,627.06 per year
