What's the role about?
Business Development Manager
If you are a sales professional with a talent for influencing and a hunger for growth, make a career change.
Powerforce is offering you the chance to step into a Business Development Manager role representing Nestlé, one of the world’s most iconic FMCG brands. This isn’t just about maintaining a territory; it’s about taking total ownership of the Wholesale and Out Of Home channel across Belfast with a world‑class team behind you.
What You’ll Be Achieving
As a full‑time, permanent Business Development Manager covering Belfast, you are the face of Nestlé within the wholesale and out of home environment. Your mission is to ensure that when a customer walks into a depot, Nestlé brands are front, centre, and impossible to miss.
* Strategic Relationship Building - You won’t just be visiting depots; you’ll be becoming a trusted advisor to Depot Managers and key stakeholders, ensuring Nestlé is their first thought for every promotion.
* Data‑Driven Influence - Use sophisticated insights and sales data to spot gaps in the market. You’ll pitch, negotiate, and close agreements that drive product availability and visibility.
* Mastering the "Big Win" - From executing high‑energy activation days and trade events to securing secondary displays for New Product Development (NPD), you’ll be responsible for making a measurable impact on the bottom line.
* Creative Execution - It’s not just about the sale; it’s about the "look." You’ll audit compliance, set up stunning displays, and report your results with "before and after" showcases that highlight your success to the wider business.
With A Package That Delivers
* Financials - Competitive £28k‑£30.5k base + a performance bonus of up to 20%
* The Tools - A company car to help you dominate your territory
* Lifestyle & Wellbeing - 21 days holiday (plus bank holidays), Medicash, Enhanced Pension, Life Insurance, and the Cycle to Work scheme
* Perks - Access to Perkbox and a Taste Card for those well‑deserved meals out!
What We’re Looking For
You should be:
* Master Communicator - Someone who can walk into a depot and command the room with confidence and professional charm
* Sales‑Savvy - Ideally, you have experience in FMCG, wholesale, or retail, but more importantly, you have a "closer" mindset
* Resilient & Target‑Driven - You don’t back down from a challenge; you find a way around it
* Mobile - A full UK driving licence (held for at least 12 months) is essential to manage your territory
