HIRING: A Sales Account Manager Ready to Grow With Us

*Creating Opportunities. Enriching Lives.* That's not a slogan we stuck on the wall. It's the reason Ocean King exists — for our customers, for our community, and for the people who work here.

So here's the real question: What can we do to make you better by walking through our doors?

Quite a lot, actually.

  • We'll teach you a trade. Real wholesale, real food, real customers — the kind of commercial knowledge you can build a career on.

  • We'll back you to grow. Hit your stride and there's a path here — to senior account management, team lead, key accounts, and beyond. We promote from within whenever we can.

  • We'll invest in your skills. Product training, sales coaching, systems training on SAP Business One — you'll leave every quarter sharper than you started it.

  • We'll give you a seat at the table. Your customer feedback shapes what we stock, how we sell, and where we grow. Your voice matters here.

  • We'll surround you with good people. 29 years as a family business means something — there's a culture here that actually has your back.
About Ocean King

We're the UK's go\-to wholesale supply chain for Far East Asian food service. SALSA certified. 29 years strong. Family\-built. We supply the skilled chefs and small business owners that feed this country's love affair with Asian food — and we're scaling fast, with serious growth plans ahead.

It's a brilliant time to join.

What you'll be doing

  • Being the trusted contact for the chefs and business owners who rely on us

  • Learning their kitchens, their menus, their pressures — and helping them succeed

  • Recommending the right products at the right time, with confidence

  • Working towards team sales targets and helping drive new business

  • Handling enquiries, returns and the occasional curveball with calm and care

  • Keeping orders and customer records sharp in SAP Business One

  • Sharing what you're hearing on the phone so we keep getting better
You'll thrive here if you:
  • Have around 2 years of sales or account management experience

  • Speak fluent English plus Cantonese and/or Mandarin (essential — it's how we connect with our customers)

  • Genuinely enjoy people and conversation

  • Stay calm and constructive when things get busy

  • Are comfortable with computers, numbers and getting the details right

  • Are motivated by progress — your own, your customers', and the team's

  • Are happy to work weekends as part of your normal working week (the food trade runs at weekends, and so do we)
Bonus points if you:
  • Know the wholesale, distribution or food industry

  • Have worked with chefs, restaurants or hospitality before

  • Have used SWORDS or SAP Business One
What you'll get
  • From £26,500/year, with real progression for the right person

  • Full\-time, permanent role at our UK base

  • A working week that includes weekend days — the rhythm of the trade

  • Employee discount on great food

  • Company pension

  • Health \& wellbeing programme

  • Free on\-site parking

  • Company events (the food, predictably, is excellent)

  • Genuine training, development and a clear path forward
