Role overview
Brakes is looking for a Business Development Manager to support its Independent Sales Team across Burnley, Blackburn, Oldham, and Rochdale. This role is home and field based, with a home-based contract, and offers the chance to contribute to the company’s ambitious growth plans while working closely with independent foodservice customers.
The package includes a salary of up to £35,000, uncapped bonus potential, and either a company car or a car allowance.
What you will do
- Identify, pursue, and convert new independent business opportunities while maintaining a strong and active sales pipeline.
- Build strong relationships with independent businesses in the local food market by showing genuine curiosity and commercial awareness.
- Create tailored food and culinary proposals that help customers save time and money.
- Drive profitable growth by meeting and exceeding revenue and profit targets.
- Support the onboarding of new clients and work closely with the Area Sales Manager to ensure a smooth handover.
- Track competitor activity and changing independent market trends to provide relevant solutions and insights.
- Work towards market and sales goals with energy, resilience, and a customer-first approach.
What the company is looking for
Applicants with a background in field sales are preferred, although this is not essential. The ideal person will have a commercial approach, strong motivation, and the determination to deliver results against targets. Confidence working out in the field and keeping the customer at the centre of every decision is important.
Brakes provides a structured induction and product training, so foodservice or hospitality experience would be helpful but is not required. The company values individuality, diversity, and inclusion, and encourages candidates to bring their full selves to work.
