Our Ideal Candidate: Hustle, Heart, and Commercial Smarts

We’re looking for someone with energy, ambition and a bit of fire in the belly. You’re a self-starter who gets stuck in, takes ownership and follows things through.

You’re organised, commercially curious and comfortable working with data, systems and multiple priorities. You enjoy figuring out how things work and aren’t afraid to ask questions, challenge yourself or learn from the ground up.

Experience is valuable, but attitude, drive and potential matter just as much. We want someone who is prepared to work hard, learn quickly and have a real go.

You’ll bring hustle, heart and personality to Delmaine. You want to win, but you also understand that the best results happen when the whole team wins together.

What Your Day-to-Day Looks Like: Collaborating, Problem-Solving, and Making It Happen!

Partnering with the National Business Manager to execute key account plans and deliver results.

Managing promotional calendars and variable marketing spend across banners.

Engaging with internal teams—Field Sales, Marketing, Planning, Finance—to keep things moving and aligned.

Monitoring performance, analysing data, and feeding insights into forecasting and planning.

Running the VMI process and ensuring orders flow smoothly for Foodstuffs.

Pitching in where needed across the team—covering orders, reports, and support during leave periods.

Keeping close to our customers and staying across what’s happening in the market.

What We’re Looking For:

We’re looking for a go-getter. Someone who is ambitious, commercially curious and prepared to roll up their sleeves, learn the business from the ground up and work hard to build a successful career in sales. You’ll ideally bring:

A self-starter mindset with the drive to follow things through, close the loop and deliver results.

A strong desire to learn, grow and build a career in FMCG sales.

A results-oriented attitude. You want to win for yourself, your team and Delmaine.

Great organisation skills and the ability to juggle multiple priorities without losing sight of the detail.

Some experience in FMCG, retail, account support, sales operations or a similar commercial environment. Potential and attitude are just as important to us as years of experience.

Strong analytical skills and confidence working with Excel, data and reporting.

* A confident communication style and the ability to build strong relationships internally and externally.

A proactive, solutions-focused mindset. You see what needs doing and make it happen, with the resilience and determination to keep pushing forward when things get busy or challenging.

Experience with Foodstuffs, VMI systems, or trade planning portals would be a real advantage, but it’s not a deal-breaker. Bring the right attitude, energy, and drive, and we’ll teach you the rest.
