Regional Business Development Manager – Scotland
Permanent/full-time
Location: Field-based throughout Scotland (precise regional remit to be agreed on an individual basis)
Salary: £26-35k base (depending on experience) + commission (£40-50k OTE) + £3k car allowance
Own your patch.
Launch a new product.
Earn £40-50k OTE in year one.
You’ll be the face of Bar Juice 5000 and SNÜ, a well-established e-liquid product and our entrant into the nicotine pouch space respectively. Your focus will largely be on driving existing business and improving our service offering to existing customers in your area – with flexibility around how your patch is defined and what you’re doing to go after it -- but generating new business will still be a key part of what you’re doing day in day out.
There’s no pressure cooker culture here. You’ll be part of a delivery-first set-up with a smart-casual dress code where you’re trusted to get on with things and do your job. You’ll have the tools and support you need, without any of us breathing down your neck.
Sometimes you’ll get together with your colleagues on-site in Bolton, but these occasions will be few and far between (once a quarter or so). The rest will be in the field, and you’ll be reimbursed for your mileage and vehicle usage through a car allowance (paid monthly).
You’ll also get the chance to represent our brands at trade shows and industry events, and we’ll make sure that you’re always kept up to date with product compliance as needed.
In an ideal world, you’ll be covering key cities in Scotland such as Glasgow and Edinburgh, as well as everywhere in between. However, we realise that this might be too large an area for some, or not quite the right location either, so we are open to reasonable compromise on how big exactly you want your patch to be as well as where exactly your patch will fall.
What you’ll do
* Drive existing business and new business across vape retailers, convenience stores and similar outlets
* Own your territory, pipeline and strategy from first contact through to close
* Keep and manage the accounts you bring on
* Build strong buying relationships with store owners and managers
What you’ll need
* About 3-4 years’ experience years in business development/sales/account management/brand ambassador/customer service work
* A full UK driving licence and access to your own vehicle (which you’ll be reimbursed monthly for using on our behalf)
* Prior experience in a field-based role
* Experience in working with vaping, nicotine or tobacco products
* FMCG or impulse product/sector experience is useful, but not a dealbreaker
* Confidence using CRM software tools such as Salesforce, HubSpot
About the company
You’ll be joining the Klinsmann Partnership Ltd, where we are committed to revolutionising the vaping and nicotine product industries through innovation, sustainability, and global distribution. We own and operate some of the leading brands in these industries, focusing on delivering high-quality, responsibly sourced products to consumers worldwide.
You’ll be helping us grow brands in our portfolio such as Bar Juice 5000 Nicotine Salt E-Liquid, a game-changing product, and SNÜ Nicotine Pouches, our latest innovation and launch product into the nicotine pouch space.
