Retail Sales Merchandiser

Job description

Field Sales Representative

Location: Central London / South West London (Role is 100% field based)

About the Client

Since its founding in 2004, the client has been on a mission to make the world a little kinder one snack and one act at a time. The business was born out of its founder's desire to create a snack that was healthy and tasty, wholesome and convenient. What began as a line of premium Fruit & Nut bars sparked the creation of an entirely new healthier snacking category.

Today, the client has a family of snacks that offer solutions for a variety of different occasions. From the healthy snacks they make, to the way they work, live and give back, they are committed to making the world a little kinder, because they believe that there's more to business than just profit. They are looking for passionate, conscious collaborators to help them meet their goals: to inspire kindness, with one tasty snack (and good act) at a time.
