Senior Ingredients Sales Executive

Senior Ingredients Sales Executive Manchester / North West

£50,000 to £60,000 basic, car allowance and uncapped commission

Permanent, full-time, office based

I’m working on a confidential role with an established ingredients business looking to add a commercially strong Sales Executive to their team.

This is a proper ingredients sales role across the nutraceutical, human nutrition, food and beverage markets. It would suit someone who already understands selling ingredients or raw materials into manufacturers, brands, contract manufacturers, NPD, formulation or procurement teams.

This is not a generic sales role and it is not one where someone can learn the market from scratch. The client needs someone who can hit the ground running, open doors, spot opportunities and manage accounts properly once they are won.

The role will involve: New business development across relevant food, beverage, nutrition and supplement customers

Managing and growing existing customer relationships

Identifying new projects and commercial opportunities in the market

Presenting ingredient solutions and wider product capabilities to customers

Preparing offers, following up quotes and supporting order processing

Using CRM to track opportunities and manage customer activity

Supporting trade shows and customer meetings where needed

Working closely with internal teams to develop the right solutions for customers

The type of person I’m keen to speak with: You will ideally already be selling ingredients, raw materials or functional ingredients into manufacturers or brands.

Backgrounds across any of the following could be relevant:

Nutraceutical ingredients

Supplement ingredients

Vitamins and minerals

Sports nutrition

Functional food and drink

Food ingredients

Beverage ingredients

Proteins, fibres, sweeteners, botanicals, extracts, hydrocolloids, flavours, colours or similar

You do not need to tick every box, but you do need to understand B2B ingredients sales and be comfortable with both new business and account management.

You will likely have: Experience in B2B ingredients, raw materials or technical sales

Confidence opening new accounts and building relationships

The ability to sell into manufacturers, brands, NPD, formulation or procurement teams

Strong communication and commercial follow-up

CRM experience

A proactive, organised and customer-focused approach

Willingness to be office based in the Manchester / North West area

Package: £50,000 to £60,000 basic salary

Car allowance

Uncapped commission

Permanent role

Full-time

Office based in the Manchester / North West area

Opportunity to join a growing ingredients business with real scope to make an impact
