Business Development Manager- Spirits

Business Development Manager – Premium Spirits

South West England | Field-Based | Commercial

A fantastic opportunity to own and grow a leading premium spirits portfolio across the South West (focused around the Bristol/Bath regions). This is an autonomous, commercially critical field sales role for someone who builds genuine customer partnerships and loves putting great brands in front of more customers and people.

You'll be responsible for driving distribution, visibility and revenue growth across a defined territory, working with On Trade, wholesale and independent accounts to deliver consistent growth.

• Growing distribution across premium On Trade, wholesale and independent channels
• Building deep, trusted relationships with key regional customers and operators
• Executing seasonal and regional plans in the market
• Identifying and winning new business opportunities across the region

• Proven regional field sales experience in alcoholic drinks — ideally drinks brands or the licensed trade
• Strong knowledge of the South West market, its customers, channels and dynamics
• A relationship-first approach with genuine credibility at the buyer and operator level
• A track record of winning new business and growing existing accounts
• Existing relationships with IFT customers, wholesalers and/or RTMs

You're someone who treats their territory like a business. You own your results, act with urgency, follow through on commitments and find solutions rather than problems. You bring warmth and consistency to every customer interaction and represent brands with real pride.

All candidates must be based in and eligible to work in the UK. VISA sponsorship is not available for this opportunity. Candidates are ideally based in the Bristol/Bath or Cardiff regions.

Candidates who meet the brief will be contacted within 2 weeks.
