Sales Executive - South East UK

Sales Executive – Aqua Libra Company
Location: South East UK

At Britvic we’re on a journey to become the most dynamic soft drinks company. As one of the UK’s leading players in the FMCG market we pride ourselves on setting high standards, being courageous and pushing ourselves to think outside the bottle.

Smart touch taps company Aqua Libra Co is aiming to bring the future of hydration to workers, shoppers and consumers everywhere – allowing customers to dial up fruit flavours with the touch of a button, while at the same time cut back on calories and single use packaging.

About the role:
Utilising Britvic’s expertise in flavour and dispense equipment, Aqua Libra Co is developing owned technology and enabling consumers to lead healthier, more sustainable lives.
As we grow and up scale our business we are now looking for a Sales Executive to join us to focus on the sale of our hospitality bottling proposition into sectors such as pubs, restaurants, hotels and leisure. We are moving rapidly from ‘start up’ (few hundred installs) to ‘scale up’ (few thousand installs & market leadership) phase.  As the market is still at an early phase of development, we have an almost unlimited prospect list across the food led and hotel sectors initially.  

Key responsibilities:

You will be expected to generate your own leads, as well as work with your line manager and the Britvic licensed team (at national and field level) to identify and nurture prospects.  The macro environment is very good for this type of product and service (drive for sustainability + health/wellness + need for trusted brands to assure consumers of quality) and the opportunity to open up a relatively unscaled category is huge. This is a ‘full on’ new business role, we expect the successful applicant to own their pipeline (inc. utilising existing Britvic customer accounts teams) to uncover opportunities, present our proposition and close the proposal gaining a signed agreement.  

Some account management will be required but this is primarily a new business role. This is role is in practise a field-based role.  UK travel will be required, including time with clients in the field, and in our Liverpool St (London) showroom.  3-4 days a week travel expected as an approximate guide.  Due to the customer/field requirements of this role, the successful applicant must be London/ South East based.

Knowledge, Skills & Experience required:

This role would suit either a recent Graduate looking for a career in a Sales led role or someone with recent experience in commercial sales.

You will be ambitious, tenancious and hungry to seek out new business and grow our accounts.
 
If this sounds like it could be you and our values and ambitions resonate then we would love to hear from you.
We believe we are stronger together and that’s why we’re committed to providing equal opportunities to all applicants and employees. We know that by building a truly inclusive environment where everyone feels celebrated, safe and respected - diversity and wellbeing will naturally thrive
