Role Description

The Role (UK-wide, field-based)

You will own and grow a portfolio of UK retail stores — supporting stores on the shopfloor, delivering high-impact product training, improving in-store standards, and opening new accounts.

This role involves regular travel across the UK, overnight stays, and occasional weekend events (baby shows / consumer fairs).

What you’ll do

• Build long-term partnerships with independent retailers and key local accounts across the UK

• Open and onboard new retail partners (from first meeting to first successful sell-out)

• Deliver engaging in-store product training and safety-led demonstrations (staff + shopfloor)

• Drive in-store excellence: visibility, merchandising, materials, and product storytelling

• Represent Avionaut at trade shows and consumer events (some weekends)

• Plan and manage your own visit schedule (efficient routing, high-quality touchpoints)

• Work closely with the UK Country Manager on territory growth priorities

• Gather market feedback (retailer needs, competitor insights, product improvements) and report via CRM

• Achieve agreed targets and quality KPIs

What success looks like (example KPIs)

• Number & quality of store visits and trainings completed (with measurable outcomes)

• New account openings and effective onboarding

• Improved in-store standards (visibility / merchandising / staff confidence)

• Sales growth within your account portfolio (sell-in and/or sell-out where available)

• Event performance and lead conversion

What we’re looking for (Essential)

• Experience in field sales / territory management / retail account management (any premium category welcomed)

• Strong relationship-building and training / presentation skills

• Full UK driving licence and confidence with frequent UK travel & overnight stays

• Self-management: planning, prioritisation, and consistent follow-up

• Professional, responsible, “quality-first” mindset

• Confidence supporting simple content creation (photo/video) — on-camera comfort is a plus

Nice to have

• Background in baby/nursery, juvenile products, or retail training

• Genuine interest in child safety / product engineering

What we offer

• A key role in building Avionaut’s UK growth story — real ownership and impact

• Competitive salary + performance bonus (depending on experience)

• Company car + all business travel expenses covered

• Tools to do the job properly (CRM, phone/iPad – as applicable)

• Strong onboarding into product & safety knowledge

• Two fully covered training weeks per year in Poland (team time + product immersion)

• Supportive, entrepreneurial team culture — high standards, fast decisions, no corporate politics
