Are you a commercially minded relationship-builder who thrives on being out on the road growing sales? Read on if you’re looking for autonomy, variety and a dynamic territory to make your own.

Our partner

Our partner is a long-established player in the toy and giftware sector, supplying imaginative products to a wide range of retailers across the UK and beyond. With a reputation for quality, flexibility and a friendly approach, they are passionate about supporting independent retailers and visitor attractions. They are a growing company, and this newly created role reflects that momentum.

Responsibilities

• Manage and grow sales across a diverse portfolio of independent retailers (including garden centres, toy shops, department stores, zoos and visitor attractions).
• Act as the brand ambassador for the company in the market.
• Keep the company CRM and pipeline up to date with all activity and opportunities.
• Deliver high levels of customer service from presenting new ranges, arranging quotations and keeping close once products have been delivered in.
• Collaborate closely with your internal sales support to maximise your time with customers.

Experience and skills that will deliver success in this role

• Proven success in B2B field sales, ideally with independent retailers or tourism-linked clients.
• Strong organisation skills and experience maintaining sales pipelines and CRM systems.
• A resilient, proactive mindset, and passion for hitting the road and closing deals.
• Confidence working remotely while collaborating with a wider team.
• A background in toys, gifts, FMCG, or a related product-based industry is advantageous.

The opportunity

This is a rare chance to step into a territory that has a great base of clients but with clear headroom for growth. You’ll inherit existing accounts and the support of a respected brand, but also have the freedom to make the territory your own. With great culture, flexible working and a manageable patch, it’s ideal for someone who wants variety, ownership and a visible impact.
