Job Description

Regional Sales Manager - Sustainable Packaging (Field Sales)

Are you a driven field sales professional who enjoys managing accounts, winning new business, and building long-term customer relationships? Do you want to work in a role that combines commercial impact with genuine environmental purpose?

We're recruiting on behalf of a well-established, sustainability-led packaging manufacturer, supplying packaging solutions to the foodservice sector. This is an excellent opportunity to join a growing business operating at the forefront of environmentally responsible products.

Due to continued growth, the business is looking to appoint a Regional Sales Manager to take ownership of the North East of England, focusing on developing existing accounts while proactively identifying new business opportunities.

The Role

This is a field-based sales role with a high degree of autonomy. You'll manage and grow a defined territory, working closely with distribution partners and end-user customers within foodservice.

You'll spend the majority of your time out meeting customers, building relationships, and driving sustainable sales growth.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Managing and developing a portfolio of existing customer accounts
  • Growing revenue through upselling and expanding product ranges
  • Identifying and winning new business opportunities
  • Working collaboratively with distributor sales teams
  • Delivering against agreed regional sales targets

About You

This role will suit an ambitious sales professional who:

  • Has 3-5 years' experience in field sales or account management
  • Is confident managing customer relationships and developing new business
  • Enjoys being out in the field and working independently
  • Is commercially minded, target-driven, and well organised
  • Has experience within foodservice, packaging, or a related sector (advantageous but not essential)
  • Has a genuine interest in sustainability and environmentally friendly products

What's on offer

  • £42,000 basic salary
  • Bonus
  • Company car
  • Company benefits package

This is an ideal opportunity for someone looking to step into a broader regional role, take ownership of a territory, and progress their career within a purpose-driven business.
