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
