Business Development & Merchandising Representative - Munster
My FMCG client is a well-recognised and reputable brand, stocked in leading retailers nationwide.
They are recruiting a Merchandiser & Business Developer to manage and nurture existing account across Munster but mainly Cork and Limerick.
This is a 50:50 mix where you will not only merchandise and capture orders, but you will also be expected to hit your sales KPI's by gaining more space and by increasing volume and range of product on the shelves.
I am looking for a candidate who is super sales focused as this is as important as the merchandising.
Though someone with similar experience of selling into retail would be ideal, I welcome a solid retail candidate looking to move off the shop floor and get out on the road.
