Business Development Manager

We're partnering with a growing consumer brand to find an ambitious B2B sales hire to build out its wholesale and out-of-home channels.

This is a genuine early-career opportunity for someone with around 1-2 years of B2B sales experience who wants real ownership and variety rather than a narrow corporate remit. Working closely with the founder, you'll grow the brand's distribution across wholesale and out-of-home - winning new stockists, activating accounts in-store, and building the relationships that turn a great product into a growing one. Over time there's a clear path to develop into larger, national account work.

The role carries a "Head of Sales" title, reflecting the level of ownership and autonomy on offer as the brand's first dedicated sales hire - a real opportunity to make the channel your own and grow with the business.

What we're looking for:

• Around 1-2 years in B2B sales, ideally within FMCG or a consumer brand
• An understanding of (or real appetite to learn) wholesale distribution, store activation and relationship-led selling
• Someone proactive and high-energy who's happy out on the road meeting customers and owning their own patch
• A self-starter who thrives with autonomy and wants to make a visible impact in a small, ambitious team

What's on offer:

• GBP 42,000-54,000 depending on experience
• A "Head of Sales" title and genuine ownership of the channel
• London base with hybrid working
• The autonomy you rarely get at this level in a larger business
• A friendly, low-ego team and a supportive founder invested in developing you
