Dub Towers - Dublin
Sales
Here at innocent, we’re on a mission to make it easier for everyone to get more fruit and veg into their bodies. We started back in 1999 and since then we’ve gone from selling a few smoothies at a music festival to becoming one of Europe’s biggest drinks companies with around 1,000 people (and the B Corp seal of approval).
It’s nice to be able to say things like that but we’re not patting ourselves on the back just yet. We want to show everyone that it’s possible to be a successful business while looking after people and the planet too, so we’re trying to get better in pretty much every way. And that’s where this job comes in.
what you’ll be doing
Right now our business is growing fast and we are looking for someone to join our Irish team as a Field Sales Developer.
We are a small but perfectly formed team with big ambitions so it’ll be a real chance to make an impact on the results of the business.
So, if you’ve a passion for selling and want an entrepreneurial role with lots of scope then read on.
As our Field Sales Developer, you’ll report to our Field Sales Manager. You’ll be winning new business by influencing our key food service and retail accounts in an innocent way in the Dublin and Leinster region.
We want you to help us sell as many drinks as we planned to (and a few more) by finding new customers and securing additional distribution in existing customers. You’ll be required to ensure promotions are implemented at store level and that we always look our best where our products are on sale.
It’ll be a real chance to make a difference to our business working together with the people here at Fruit Towers in Dublin as well as our food service and convenience sector partners.

• You’ll be a team player who can contribute to the development of a high performing sales team

• You’ll be comfortable dealing with numbers
• You’ll need to travel to Fruit Towers Dublin monthly for sales and team meetings. You also have to feel comfortable to travel from time to time to the UK when necessary
• You’ll have a full valid driver’s licence as you’ll spend most of your time on the road visiting customers

you’ll get

• an exposure to an entrepreneurial fast growing company
• an exciting and challenging role that is different every day
• loads of opportunities to hone your selling, negotiating & presentation skills
• the ability to make a tangible difference to the success of innocent
• an opportunity to get to know some of our most valued retailers

We want innocent to be a great place to work, so we do lots of stuff to make people feel at home and try to make sure everyone’s career is shaping up the way they want it to. There are plenty of opportunities to have a go at something new or take things further.
In exchange for helping us do business in the right way, you’ll get a solid rewards package that includes a salary (phew), private healthcare, a target-based bonus, and a bunch of other nice things like a day off on your birthday. And yes, you get free smoothies.
We also know that not all our drinkers come from the same background, or think the same – so why should we? At innocent, we want to be a great place to work where a diverse bunch of people from all backgrounds can turn up and thrive. When we hire, we want all the juice, bits, and pulp that make you who you are.
Even if you don’t think you can tick all the boxes, if the job sounds right for you, come and throw your hat in the ring.
Probably best to get your skates on though, as we might close this early if we get loads of applications.
