BE THE FIRST PERSON ON THE GROUND IN THE UK

UK Sales Manager, PET Food Packaging 

£150,000+ Base | Performance Bonus | Uncapped Commission

Are you a PET food packaging sales hunter with an established network of UK food manufacturing contacts?

This is a rare opportunity to become the first commercial hire in the UK for an established Canadian manufacturer specialising in PET food packaging and custom thermoformed solutions.

This isn’t a role where you inherit a territory: You’ll build it.

You’ll have the autonomy to:

  • Establish and grow the UK division from the ground up
  • Open doors with your existing network across food manufacturing and packaging
  • Win new business across meat, poultry, seafood, protein, food manufacturing and bakery
  • Own the complete sales cycle, prospecting through to contract
  • Build relationships with senior procurement, operations and technical decision makers
  • Work alongside an experienced Canadian technical and manufacturing team
  • Develop the UK territory strategy and turn pipeline into significant revenue

WE'RE LOOKING FOR A TRUE HUNTER

You’ll ideally have:

  • 5+ years’ B2B food packaging sales experience
  • Strong PET, tray or thermoforming experience
  • An established UK network of food manufacturing/packaging contacts
  • Knowledge of tray specifications, barrier requirements and MAP
  • A proven track record of winning new business
  • An entrepreneurial mindset and the drive to build something from scratch
  • Willingness to travel extensively across the UK

WHAT'S ON OFFER

  • Base salary from £150,000+
  • Performance Bonus 20% 1st year 
  • Uncapped Commission
  • Business travel expenses
  • Executive support from Canada
  • The opportunity to shape and lead the UK market

This is a genuine build-and-own opportunity for someone who knows the PET food packaging market, has the relationships, and wants the freedom to create a UK operation rather than simply manage an existing one.

If that sounds like you, let's have a confidential conversation.
