Sales manager

Overview

Senior Sales Manager (and pet lover 🐶🐱) at Pure Pet Food

This isn’t just another sales role — this is your chance to build a market from the ground up. You’ll be the first hire in the region, taking full ownership of results, team performance, and field operations. You’ll set up the brand presence, build your first team of Brand Ambassadors, and shape the way our channel grows. This is a true entrepreneurial leadership role in a company scaling at speed. This role is perfect for someone who thrives on autonomy, wants to leave a mark, and is excited by the challenge of building something big. We want ambitious, entrepreneurial people who are ready to own their success and create impact from day one. You’ll thrive if you:


Responsibilities

* Build the team from scratch — recruit, train, and coach your first Brand Ambassadors.
* Set up and run events — plan and execute field activations, leading by example.
* Track, analyse, and optimise performance — use data to make decisions.
* Motivate and drive accountability — hit ambitious targets while setting the standard for the team.
* Collaborate with leadership — shape strategy and growth.
* Lead from the front — you’ll sell the product, represent the brand, and show the team how it’s done.

In the early days, you’ll be doing everything from setting up the stand to building your first team of Brand Ambassadors — this role is for someone who thrives on responsibility and ownership. You’ll need to work most weekends initially (with TOIL applied).

Why This Role Matters

We’re not looking for someone to “clock in.” We want someone who is entrepreneurial, ambitious, and ready to own results, innovate, and take their career to the next level.

This is your opportunity to be the first hire in the Newcastle region, build something extraordinary, and create a high-performing team from scratch. If you thrive in high-growth, high-performance environments, this is your chance to join the very best and make your mark.
