Why not become the face of some of the UK's most loved brands

Are you motivated, energetic, and ready to build a career in sales with one of the world's most iconic FMCG brands? This is your opportunity to represent Nestlé in major retailers, driving visibility, availability, and sales at the point of purchase.

As a Field Sales Executive, you'll be out in store, building relationships, influencing decisions, and making a real commercial impact every day. No two days are the same—and your success will be clear to see on the shelf.

You'll manage your own territory and take ownership of performance by:

Visiting a set number of stores each day in line with KPI targets

Driving availability, compliance, and promotional execution

Negotiating additional shelf space and incremental displays

Supporting new product launches to maximise impact

Using sales and store data to prioritise actions and unlock incremental sales

Capturing high-quality photos and recording accurate visit data

Feeding back market insight, competitor activity, and store-level intelligence

You'll be trusted to plan your own journey, manage your time effectively, and deliver results independently—while being supported by a close-knit regional team.

What we're looking for

You don't need years of sales experience to succeed here. We're looking for attitude, energy, and potential.

As a Field Sales Executive you will be

Confident, self-motivated, and target driven

Great at building rapport and influencing in-store teams

Organised, reliable, and comfortable working independently

Happy working in a fast-paced, ever-changing retail environment

IT literate and confident using mobile data capture tools

You'll need:

A full UK Manual Driving Licence

Previous retail, FMCG, or sales experience is desirable—but not essential. If you're ambitious and eager to learn, we want to hear from you.
