Are you motivated, energetic, and ready to build a career in sales with one of the world's most iconic FMCG brands? This is your opportunity to represent Nestlé in major retailers, driving visibility, availability, and sales at the point of purchase.

As a Field Sales Executive, you'll be out in store, building relationships, influencing decisions, and making a real commercial impact every day. No two days are the same—and your success will be clear to see on the shelf.

You’ll manage your own territory and take ownership of performance by:

• Negotiating additional shelf space and incremental displays
• Supporting new product launches to maximise impact
• Using sales and store data to prioritise actions and unlock incremental sales

You'll be trusted to plan your own journey, manage your time effectively, and deliver results independently—while being supported by a close-knit regional team.

• Great at building rapport and influencing in-store teams
• Organised, reliable, and comfortable working independently
• Happy working in a fast-paced, ever-changing retail environment
• IT literate and confident using mobile data capture tools

You’ll need:

• A full UK Manual Driving Licence
