Drive growth. Build partnerships. Make a real impact.
Oakhouse Foods is on an exciting growth journey across the care, health, and community sectors. Part of Pilgrim’s Europe, we’re a trusted provider of high-quality, single-serve frozen meals, helping older adults and people with specific dietary needs live well and independently.
We’re looking for a New Business & Partnership Sales Manager to open new routes to market, build long-term partnerships, and turn opportunity into sustainable growth.
The Role
You’ll build and convert a national pipeline of new partnerships across care homes, NHS organisations, community networks, and commercial partners (including vending).
A key focus of the role is securing NHS and public-sector access, including tenders, frameworks, and approved supplier status, and converting this access into active, ordering partners.
Working cross-functionally with internal teams and our franchise network, you’ll help turn strategic conversations into long-term, high-value relationships.
