Sales Representative

Fresh Food, Happy Dogs. We believe dogs deserve the healthiest, most natural and tastiest meals—none of the nasties. That’s why we make fresh, ready‑to‑eat food, cooked just like you would at home and delivered directly to our customers in perfect portions. As a B-Corp certified company, you’re joining a sustainable business that genuinely cares about our people, our products and our impact on the planet.

Our goal is simple: to help dogs live healthier, happier, and longer lives while leaving humans smiling after every interaction. We’ve come a long way since our co-founders Kev & Dave hand delivered the very first Butternut Box. Today, we feed hundreds of thousands of hungry dogs across the UK and Europe— but we won’t stop until we’re feeding dogs everywhere.

To get there, we need a team of brilliant people who share that ambition to come and work for us.

Are you a fun, vibrant dog lover who wants to earn £45,000+ per annum realistic OTE? This could be the perfect role for you! We are looking for tenacious, animal‑loving sales representatives to join our high‑performing sales team. This is an excellent opportunity to earn uncapped commission while helping pet parents discover food that makes their cats and dogs thrive. We offer a genuinely supportive working environment and want driven individuals who match our passion and ethos.

Top performers in the role are currently earning £85,000+ per annum.

You’ll be contracted to work one 6‑day shift per month—giving you more time for life while still building a brilliant, high‑earning career.

In this role, you will represent Butternut Box at face‑to‑face selling opportunities across Manchester and the surrounding areas. You’ll attend activations—including shopping centres, food festivals, county shows, Christmas markets, exhibitions, dog shows and more—and pitch our offering to potential customers. Most locations will be within 90 minutes of Manchester. For any travel outside one hour, mileage will be paid. For travel beyond two hours, accommodation will be provided.

You will also be required to set up and break down our Butternut Box selling stand.

We recommend getting your application in as soon as possible. We reserve the right to close the role early. We’re a small (but mighty!) recruitment team and aim to respond to everyone personally, but if we’re flooded with brilliant applications, we may need to close the role early. We appreciate your patience while we review applications. For this specific role, we’re unable to offer visa sponsorship, so you’ll need the right to work in the UK.

Butternut Box is an equal opportunity employer. We believe that to make the best food for all dogs, we need a team that represents all humans. We celebrate different nationalities, backgrounds, experiences and perspectives and are specifically committed to increasing representation from under‑represented groups. We want a strong, diverse team built from different identities and lived experiences. We’re not perfect, but we are dedicated to the ongoing work of building an inclusive, supportive place where you can do the best work of your career.
