Job Description
Our client The Vegetarian Society is the UK's original and leading voice for the vegetarian and vegan movement, driven by convictions and hunger for change. The Society is a fundraising charity and campaigns for compassionate and environmental dietary policies in addition to running a flagship cookery school.
The Role: To promote and manage the sales and development of Vegetarian Society trademark licensing to existing Key accounts, liaising with assorted FMCG product manufacturers, retailers, restaurants and catering groups etc. The main purpose is to grow revenues via product cross-selling and account/client development in respect of the Society’s official accreditation programme. You will mainly operate over the telephone (from home if preferred) to meet set targets and corporate objectives, in addition to assessing food products and menus etc to check ingredients. There will be close liaison with marketing colleagues to engage with prospects and partner organisations via tele-research, client visits, mail promotions and other activities.
You will be required to attend foods fairs and exhibitions - in the UK and Europe - involving occasional work away from home, assisting with the assembly and dismantling of the stand and, perhaps, driving a van (so a driver with a clean licence is preferred).
The Ideal Candidate will be a bright, personable and proactive account manager or business development professional with at least two years’ similar prior experience, mainly over the telephone but also including face-to-face presentations and meetings.
Experience of selling licensing or trademark products/services – whether commercial or regulatory – would be a distinct advantage but is not essential. Prior sales or key account management experience within the foods manufacturing or retail sectors would also be of interest to our client. A vegetarian, vegan (or perhaps pescatarian) is required, seeing as a full commitment to the Society’s ethics and values is naturally of fundamental importance when promoting its agenda to customers and commercial partners.
The job remit requires dedication, drive and a robust commercial flair, being central to the further growth of one of the charities' key revenue streams. The opportunity comes with excellent career prospects.
The role can be conducted from home or hybrid, with approx’ two days per month office attendance (central Manchester) necessary for meetings etc.
