Job Description:

Business Development Manager – Foodservice

Hampshire Site/Office – Hybrid with UK Travel | £55,000 Salary + Car Allowance + Bonus

More hunter than farmer? This could be right up your street.

There’s no large portfolio of established customers to look after or endless account reviews to work through. The focus here is on winning new business, opening doors with end-users and multi-site foodservice customers and finding opportunities to get some great products in front of the right people.

You’ll be joining a small team within a global food business, but the approach is much more start-up than corporate. There’s plenty of opportunity to make your mark, try different approaches and help shape how the business grows its foodservice customer base.

Your customers will mainly be larger end users across leisure, casual dining and hotels, including some major chains and multi-site operators.

What are they looking for?

  • Someone with a genuine appetite for winning new business.
  • You might already be a Business Development Manager, Customer Development Manager or Account Manager looking to move into a more new-business-focused position.
  • You’ll ideally have experience in foodservice, FMCG or food manufacturing, although the right personality and commercial approach are just as important as your sector background.

If you’re someone who enjoys getting out into the market, building relationships from scratch and actually winning new business, this is well worth a conversation.

It’s a chance to join a global food business but have the freedom and influence you’d usually associate with a much smaller operation.
