About the Role
We're looking for an experienced Field Sales Representative to drive Living Things' presence across London. You'll own your territory end to end — opening new accounts, growing existing ones, and getting our products into the hands of drinkers across on-trade, off-trade, and events. This is a hands-on, target-driven role for someone who loves the hustle of field sales and wants to help build a brand from the ground up in a new market.
Responsibilities
- Open and grow accounts across on-trade (bars, restaurants, cafés, hotels) and off-trade (supermarkets, convenience, independents, off-licences).
- Own your territory: plan routes, manage a call cycle, and consistently hit distribution and sales targets.
- Build strong, lasting relationships with buyers, managers, and owners across the city.
- Represent Living Things at events, festivals, and sampling activations — bringing the brand to life for new drinkers.
- Secure listings, drive rate of sale, and negotiate visibility, displays, and promotions in-store and on-premise.
- Feed back market insight — competitor activity, pricing, and opportunities — to help shape our strategy.
- Keep accurate records of accounts, orders, and activity in our CRM.
Requirements
- 2+ years' field sales experience, ideally in drinks, FMCG, or hospitality.
- A proven track record of hitting targets and opening new accounts.
- Deep knowledge of the London on- and off-trade scene is a strong advantage.
- Self-motivated and highly organised — you can run your own territory with minimal oversight.
- Confident, personable, and genuinely great with people.
- Full driving licence.
