New Business Field Sales Manager (AFH)
Location: Southampton
Contract Type: Permanent
Coca-Cola Europacific Partners is looking for an enthusiastic and dedicated Field Sales Representative to join our inclusive and vibrant team. This full-time field sales role comes with a competitive salary and many compelling benefits.
Looking for a new professional challenge supporting a high-octane field sales team?
Do you want to be the face of one of the world’s most recognisable brands? Relentless focus on delivery and customer experience in store is at the heart of everything we do! As we strive to be the best in our market, we deliver leading tools & technology to our field sales teams whilst investing in our people so that you can genuinely drive your personal career development - and our business!
What we expect of you!
Our New Business Sales Managers each lead a team of Account Executives, inspiring and coaching them to deliver on our challenging sales and distribution targets. All achieved by strengthening existing customer relationships and developing the team’s capabilities to become experts in the soft drink category.
The customers that you and your team will be interacting with daily will vary. Our New Business accounts are often founders and entrepreneurs looking to grow and develop their business. In this role you get the opportunity to work with them in the incubator stage to win against our competitors.
As one of our New Business Sales Managers you will play a pivotal role in coaching and mentoring the team to deliver performance and add value to the customer. You will be responsible for embedding and delivering structured meetings and training with a high energy, inspiring, fresh and creative approach. You will use wider commercial plans and data to pull insights, set team direction and identify opportunities bringing a national accounts mindset to the role.
To achieve this, experience in a sales environment is a must, along with great financial and commercial awareness. Even better - exposure to an FMCG, retail or pharma environment would be great, but is not essential.
But we’re not just looking for Sales experience; experience in people management and/or coaching experience is essential along with the ability to motivate a customer facing sales team to deliver great results.

* Consultative – use data and stats to deliver great outcomes for both us and our customers

* Plan - show that you can plan & prioritise for success
