Full job description BE THE FIRST PERSON ON THE GROUND IN THE UK
UK Sales Manager, PET Food Packaging
£150,000+ Base | Performance Bonus | Uncapped Commission
Are you a PET food packaging sales hunter with an established network of UK food manufacturing contacts?
This is a rare opportunity to become the first commercial hire in the UK for an established Canadian manufacturer specialising in PET food packaging and custom thermoformed solutions.
This isn’t a role where you inherit a territory: You’ll build it.
You’ll have the autonomy to:
* Establish and grow the UK division from the ground up
* Open doors with your existing network across food manufacturing and packaging
* Win new business across meat, poultry, seafood, protein, food manufacturing and bakery
* Own the complete sales cycle, prospecting through to contract
* Build relationships with senior procurement, operations and technical decision makers
* Work alongside an experienced Canadian technical and manufacturing team
* Develop the UK territory strategy and turn pipeline into significant revenue
WE’RE LOOKING FOR A TRUE HUNTER
You’ll ideally have:
* 5+ years’ B2B food packaging sales experience
* Strong PET, tray or thermoforming experience
* An established UK network of food manufacturing/packaging contacts
* Knowledge of tray specifications, barrier requirements and MAP
* A proven track record of winning new business
* An entrepreneurial mindset and the drive to build something from scratch
* Willingness to travel extensively across the UK
WHAT’S ON OFFER
* Base salary from £150,000+
* Performance Bonus 20% 1st year
* Uncapped Commission
* Business travel expenses
* Executive support from Canada
* The opportunity to shape and lead the UK market
This is a genuine build-and-own opportunity for someone who knows the PET food packaging market, has the relationships, and wants the freedom to create a UK operation rather than simply manage an existing one.
If that sounds like you, let’s have a confidential conversation.
