Business Development Manager in Middlesbrough

Permanent/full-time Location: Field-based throughout Yorkshire (precise regional remit to be agreed on an individual basis)

Salary: £26-32k base (depending on experience) + commission (£40-50k OTE) + £3k car allowance

Own your patch. Launch a new product. Earn £40-50k OTE in year one. You’ll be the face of Bar Juice 5000 and SNÜ, a well-established e-liquid product and our entrant into the nicotine pouch space respectively. Your focus will be generating new business in your area – with flexibility around how your patch is defined and what you’re doing to go after it. You’ll also manage your own accounts, so looking after existing customers will still be a key part of what you’re doing day in day out.

• Drive existing business and new business across vape retailers, convenience stores and similar outlets
• Own your territory, pipeline and strategy from first contact through to close
• Keep and manage the accounts you bring on
• Build strong buying relationships with store owners and managers

• Experience in working with vaping, nicotine or tobacco products
• A full UK driving licence and access to your own vehicle (which you’ll be reimbursed monthly for using on our behalf)
• About 3-4 years’ experience in business
• Prior experience in a field-based role
• FMCG or impulse product/sector experience is useful, but not a dealbreaker
• Confidence using CRM software tools such as Salesforce, HubSpot

There’s no pressure cooker culture here. You’ll be part of a delivery-first set-up with a smart-casual dress code where you’re trusted to get on with things and do your job. You’ll have the tools and support you need, without any of us breathing down your neck. Sometimes you’ll get together with your colleagues on-site in Bolton, but these occasions will be few and far between (once a quarter or so). The rest will be in the field, and you’ll be reimbursed for your mileage and vehicle usage through a car allowance (paid monthly). You’ll also get the chance to represent our brands at trade shows and industry events, and we’ll make sure that you’re always kept up to date with product compliance as needed. In an ideal world, you’ll be happy covering cities such as Leeds and Sheffield, plus everywhere in between. But within reason, we’re happy to compromise on this for the right people.

You’ll be joining the Klinsmann Partnership Ltd, where we are committed to revolutionising the vaping and nicotine product industries through innovation, sustainability, and global distribution. We own and operate some of the leading brands in these industries, focusing on delivering high-quality, responsibly sourced products to consumers worldwide. You’ll be helping us grow brands in our portfolio such as Bar Juice 5000 Nicotine Salt E-Liquid, a game-changing product, and SNÜ Nicotine Pouches, our latest innovation and launch product into the nicotine pouch space.
