Senior Q-commerce Sales Manager
£55,000 to £65,000 plus great benefits including a company car (Work Level 5)
A full UK driving licence is required for this role.
Manchester, in this role you’ll work in a hybrid way splitting your time between home and coming into the office at least twice a week (find out more about our hybrid working policy at colleagues.coop.co.uk/hybrid-working-policy).
We’re looking for a Senior Sales Manager to join our brand new Quick Commerce Aggregator team.
Our aggregator app makes customers' lives easier by offering them delivery services from local independent retailers. We’re setting up a new team to revamp and relaunch the app, and we’ve got some pretty ambitious growth targets to meet over the next few years.
Being part of this new team will feel fast, fun and fluid. We know it’s a cliché, but there really will be no two days the same! Think start-up vibes, but with all the knowledge and resources that come with a 180-year-old organisation.
In return for your energy and ambition, we’ll do right by you by providing life-balance through hybrid and flexible working arrangements, as well as supportive, inclusive leadership and a whole host of opportunities to learn and grow.
What you’ll do:
* Sell a proposition into independent retailers or organisations.
* Lead, develop, coach, and manage your sales team to deliver the annual regional plan and targets.
* Identify new opportunities to sell within the market, looking at new groups, attending conferences and spotting gaps in the market.
* Take insights and feed them back to the Account Manager and other teams to make sure we maintain our credibility.
* Ensure suitable engagement across the independent retailer network and that we are delivering an excellent support service.
* Represent our Co-op externally to potential retailers registered to our aggregator app.
* Collaborate with external technology partners, Nisa Group, FRTS, Franchise and our internal teams.
This role would suit people who have:
* Experience of building and formulating a strategy to support how we go out and recruit new retailers.
* A successful sales track record.
* A strong knowledge of eCommerce.
* Managed a successful sales team.
* The ability to manage budgets and P&L’s.
Why Co-op?
If you have the skills that we need, we can offer you a competitive salary and great benefits package which includes:
* 30% off Co-op branded products in our food stores (as well as other discounts on Co-op products and services).
* An annual bonus (based on personal and business performance).
* 28 days holiday (rising to 32 with service) plus bank holidays.
* A pension with up to 10% employer contributions.
* Private healthcare.
* Access to a subsidised onsite gym (at our Manchester HQ).
* Coaching and training to support your career development.
* Wagestream app – giving you access to a percentage of your pay as you earn.
At Co-op, we’re proud to do things a different way. As one of the world’s largest co-operatives, owned by millions of members, community is at the heart of what we do. Since our Co-op was founded in 1844, we’ve had a clear social purpose, and everything we do as a business helps to build a fairer world for our members, customers, colleagues, and communities.
Building a diverse environment:
We’re actively building diverse teams and we welcome applications from everyone. If you have a disability, we can make reasonable adjustments to our recruitment process according to your needs. We're also part of the Disability Confident scheme, meaning we'll always offer an interview to disabled candidates who apply through the scheme if they meet the minimum criteria for a job.
We'll ask whether you’d like to be considered under the Disability Confident scheme when you apply.
If we invite you to take part in the recruitment process for any of our jobs, we’ll ask you if you need any reasonable adjustments to enable you to participate.
