Territory Sales & Account Manager

National Travel | Established Australian Business | Exciting Career Opportunity

Love meeting people? Enjoy being on the road? Ready to take your sales career to the next level?

Here's an opportunity to join a highly respected Australian packaging business operating in a specialised and fascinating part of the fresh produce industry.

Our client is an established leader in fruit handling and packaging solutions, representing world-leading suppliers and are known as the go-to provider in the fresh produce industry in Australia.

With an extensive national customer base, a strong reputation and an experienced, supportive team, the business is looking for an enthusiastic and motivated individual to help manage and develop its customer relationships.

The Opportunity
This is not your typical desk-bound sales role!
You'll be out and about, travelling extensively throughout Australia, visiting customers, building relationships and learning about the fresh produce industry.

Working alongside an experienced team, you'll be given the opportunity to develop your sales skills, gain valuable industry knowledge and become a trusted point of contact for customers across the country.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Building and maintaining strong relationships with existing customers
• Travelling throughout Australia to visit growers, packhouses and other fresh produce businesses
• Identifying new business opportunities and helping grow the company's national presence
• Understanding customer requirements and recommending suitable products and solutions
• Working closely with an experienced and supportive team
• Developing your technical product knowledge through ongoing training and mentoring

Who Are We Looking For?
We're looking for personality, enthusiasm and potential!
You might currently be working in FMCG sales, territory management, account management or another customer-facing sales position.

You don't need to know anything about food packaging, we'll help you learn that!

What matters most is that you're:

• Positive, outgoing and enthusiastic, with a genuine enjoyment of meeting people
• A natural relationship builder who can communicate confidently with customers
• Commercially minded, with some previous sales or account management experience
• Curious, adaptable and eager to learn
• Self-motivated, organised and comfortable working independently
• A genuine team player who enjoys being part of a successful business
• Happy to travel extensively throughout Australia, including regular overnight stays away from home

Experience in FMCG, agricultural products, packaging, food manufacturing or fresh produce would be advantageous, but certainly isn't essential.

This is an opportunity to build a long-term career with a successful and well-established Australian business.

You'll enjoy:

• An established national customer base and an excellent industry reputation
• Extensive sales training with industry leaders
• A supportive, experienced and down-to-earth team
• Comprehensive product training and ongoing mentoring
• The opportunity to travel extensively and meet people from all walks of life
• A varied and interesting role in an essential Australian primary industry
• The stability of an established business combined with genuine opportunities for personal and professional growth

Ready for Something Different?
If you're an enthusiastic sales professional with a great attitude, a willingness to learn and a sense of adventure, we'd love to hear from you.

You don't need to be an expert. You just need the drive, personality and enthusiasm to become one!
