Can you lead, motivate and engage a sales team to deliver results? We have a unique opportunity to join us as a Regional Business Development Manager on our The Magnum Ice Cream Company account. Your focus will be on leading, coaching, and developing a third-party field sales team—ensuring delivery of results through in-field coaching, structured engagement, and strong execution of the Out of Home strategy.
Ideally, you will have experience of leading a field-based team, preferably within the FMCG industry. You will also have experience in a client-facing environment and be confident building strong relationships with key stakeholders.
Our Magnum Ice Cream Company team operates within the Out of Home channel, working across independent outlets, wholesalers, and route-to-market partners. They work with existing customers and target new business opportunities to increase distribution, visibility, and rate of sale across the region.
You will also be responsible for the following:
- People management & team leadership
- Ownership of team performance in delivering agreed objectives
- Training, coaching & development
- Working in partnership with recruitment teams to attract & retain talent
- Commercial insight from the field, providing effective and timely reporting
- Developing and executing regional plans to deliver business growth
- Managing regional investment and capex budgets
- Building strong cross-functional and customer relationships
What’s in it for me? We recognise that people are the key to our success. That’s why we ensure everyone enjoys continuous support, great perks and excellent career development opportunities. Some of the key benefits include:
- 25 days paid holidays + public holidays (increases with service)
- Company Pension Scheme
- Life assurance
- Access to private healthcare
- Annual Leave Purchase scheme
- Employee Benefits portal with retailer discounts and more
Ideally you will be working in a similar role, with experience in Out of Home, Convenience, or Grocery channels. You will have strong negotiation, communication, and presentation skills, with a proactive and results-driven approach to achieving targets. While FMCG experience is preferred, we are open to experienced managers from other sectors.
Please note this role requires a full UK manual driving licence (with no more than 6 points or previous bans). All offers will be subject to a successful DVLA licence check. This is a field-based role involving regular travel, and occasional overnight stays may be required.
