Our client is a market-leading global food packaging company. Their products are designed to keep food safe, prolong product shelf life and reduce food waste. They are a global leader in the food manufacturing and retail sectors and are now looking to duplicate this success in the food-to-go and dairy industries across America and the rest of the world.

This company is completely open on background and is looking for dynamic hunter salespeople who love new business and new market entry.

You will have a can-do attitude, be fearless, confident and love new business hunting, new market entry and sales. The Role This is the perfect opportunity for an experienced sales professional to further develop their career with a world-leading manufacturing business. They are looking to hire three hunter BDMs to open new sectors in the USA that they currently do not operate in. The primary purpose of this role is to proactively identify, attract and generate new business opportunities, ensuring a steady and qualified pipeline of potential clients for the organisation. This position is focused on the acquisition of new accounts, targeting prospects that align with the company's strategic growth objectives. This is a pure hunter role: the primary focus is on winning new business, penetrating untapped accounts and creating incremental growth – not on managing or nurturing existing customers. Locations: They are open on location; the roles will be sector focused: 1 x Dairy Market, 2 x Food-to-Go. They are looking for the right attitude, behaviours and beliefs, as well as an experienced new business sales professional. In return, this will give you the opportunity to work for a global manufacturing leader and allow you to break into the largest industry in the world. The Person They are looking for an outstanding individual who is driven and ambitious who can develop a new market from scratch. “Hungry” for results, strongly driven by winning and measurable outcomes. High-energy, proactive personality with a strong bias for action. New-business mindset: Naturally motivated by opening doors, creating opportunities from scratch, cold outreach, and winning customers we’ve never worked with. Strong closer: Not only good at generating leads—able to run the full sales cycle and close signed agreements. Network builder: Knows how and where to move to find prospects (industry events, associations, distributors/partners, LinkedIn and referral networks) and can connect into the right circles to access decision-makers. Resilient and persistent: Handles rejection well and keeps momentum; consistent execution over time. Proven track record in new customer acquisition, ideally in B2B environments.
