• Proven track record in sales and business development, ideally within hospitality, on-trade, or FMCG.
• Genuine passion for wine, food, and quality products.
• A natural deal-closer with strong negotiation and communication skills.
• Target-driven, self-motivated, and able to thrive with autonomy in a field-based role.
• Competent with IT systems (Microsoft Office; social media marketing an advantage).
• Full, clean driving licence.

• Competitive base salary (DOE) plus performance-related bonuses.
• Company car, mobile phone, and laptop provided.
• A field-based role with flexibility to manage your own schedule and territory.
