Business Development Executive

Your Impact Own your patch. Build trusted partnerships. Help great brands win in store. As a Business Development Executive, you will manage an established independent retail territory across Canberra North, with regular trips to Goulburn, Yass and Crookwell. You will partner with independent bottle shops and grocery customers to grow distribution, improve promotional execution and identify practical opportunities to increase sales, visibility and brand presence. You will typically visit up to six customers each day and manage a regular fortnightly call cycle. This is a hands-on field sales role with plenty of variety, autonomy and customer contact.
