This is an exciting opportunity to represent some of the most recognisable confectionery brands in the market, working across symbol stores and independent convenience stores.

The role
As a Reese’s Urban Activator, you’ll be responsible for growing distribution, driving sales and building strong relationships with retailers across your territory. You’ll be visiting stores daily, identifying opportunities, selling key products, merchandising displays and supporting retailers with the right information to help them maximise sales. This is a field-based role, so you’ll need to be comfortable managing your own journey plan, working independently and being accountable for your results.

- Confident speaking to retailers and decision-makers
- Target-driven and motivated by results
- Organised and able to manage their own territory
- Resilient, with the ability to handle objections
- Comfortable working independently in a field-based role
- Positive, professional and able to represent a major brand well
- Experienced in sales, retail, FMCG, convenience, wholesale or van sales — although attitude and drive are just as important
- A full UK driving licence is required.
Package
- Salary: £28K
- 20% Bonus: £5,600
- Car allowance: £5,280 per annum
- Phone/tablet/equipment provided
- Full training and ongoing field support
- Opportunity to work with a fast-growing brand in the UK convenience channel
Why join us?
You’ll be joining a fast-paced, ambitious team with a clear focus on growing distribution and building brand presence across the convenience sector. This role is ideal for someone who wants to develop their field sales career, take ownership of a territory and work on a brand with strong retailer appeal and real growth potential.
