Sales Manager - Fast Growth Brand - £60-70k & Bonus
📍 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
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
