Job Description

Sales Manager | Peterborough | Full-Time | Circa 60 - 70k + package
FMCG Jobs is excited to be working exclusively with a fast-growing wholesale business based in Peterborough, a supplier of choice to restaurants, QSR brands, and convenience retailers across the region. As they continue to expand, they're looking for a hands-on Sales Manager to take ownership of sales, marketing, and purchasing, driving performance, improving margin, and helping shape the future of the business. This is a newly created and critical role, reporting directly into the MD and Head of Operations. It offers a genuine opportunity to make a big impact from day one.
What you'll be doing:

• Leading and delivering the overall commercial strategy
• Managing and motivating a small sales team to hit (and exceed!) targets
• Getting under the skin of performance data and using insights to guide decisions
• Overseeing supplier relationships and negotiating the best possible terms
• Making sure marketing, sales and purchasing are working in sync
• Leading short, focused daily sales huddles (3-4 per week) to keep the team energised and on track
• Being a key contact for customers and building long-term relationships, especially in QSR and retail

What they're looking for:
You'll likely have a background in wholesale, FMCG, foodservice or QSR, and be comfortable working across both sales and purchasing. You'll understand how to balance commercial thinking with a hands-on, sleeves-rolled-up approach.
You'll be:

• Commercially sharp and confident making decisions based on data
• Comfortable working at pace and under pressure
• A natural leader who brings people together
• Passionate about customers and building long-term partnerships
• Someone who gets stuck in, drives results, and brings positive energy to the team
• ideally experienced within the Quick service restaurant space

If you're looking for a role where you can really make your mark, in a business that's growing and investing for the future, we'd love to hear from you.
