Sales Manager

Job description

Sales Manager / Business Development Manager – Food & Hospitality Partnerships

Location: Uxbridge (5 days office-based for initial onboarding, then fully field-based across the UK)

About the Role

We are working with a fast-growing, well-backed multi-brand food business that’s expanding its footprint across the UK.

They are now hiring a commercially driven Sales Manager / BDM / Partnership Manager to lead the growth of their brand partnership and licensing channel, working with major multi-site operators across hospitality.

This is a high impact, front line role focused on winning and developing partnerships with pub groups, restaurant chains, universities, travel hubs, and leisure operators.

If you have sold into hospitality, whether through a food supplier, wholesaler, FMCG brand, or similar, and you are used to dealing with multi-site operators, this is a natural step up into a more strategic, higher-value sales role.

What You Will Be Doing

• Winning new business with multi-site hospitality operators (pub groups, restaurant chains, contract caterers, etc.)
• Selling a commercial partnership / licensing model that helps operators drive revenue and enhance their offer
• Building relationships with key decision-makers across operations, procurement, and leadership teams
• Managing the full sales cycle, from prospecting and pitching through to closing and onboarding
• Developing a strong pipeline through networking, outreach, and industry connections
• Working closely with leadership to shape the go-to-market strategy

Who This Role Will Suit

This role is ideal for someone currently in:

• Foodservice / FMCG sales
• Wholesale / supplier sales
• Drinks brands / food brands selling into pubs & restaurants
• Hospitality BDM / Sales Manager roles

You have:

• Experience selling into multi-site operators, pub groups, or restaurant chains
• Strong commercial instincts, comfortable discussing margins, revenue, and growth opportunities
• A proactive, new-business mindset (this is not an account management role)
• The ability to build credibility quickly with senior stakeholders
• Existing industry contacts (highly beneficial but not essential)

Why This Role Stands Out

• £55k–£60k base + uncapped commission (OTE £80k+)
• Join a high growth, well funded business at a key stage
• Autonomy to build your territory and approach
• Clear progression as the partnership channel scales

Location & Flexibility

• Based in Uxbridge for the first 4–6 weeks (onboarding & training)
• After that, the role becomes fully field-based, with travel to client sites across the UK
