Sales Manager for DACH region - SUSTAINABLE SEAFOOD - remote working - part-time
About the Company
We are a European importer of sustainable seafood from around the world. Our customer base stretches across Germany, Austria, Switzerland and the rest of Europe, and varies from small distributors to larger retailers. Our supplier partners are "best in class" fishing companies spanning the globe.
Our mission is: To bring the world's finest and most sustainable seafood to the European market. In contrast to the huge volumes of unsustainable and low quality seafood that is imported into Europe.
The position
We are looking for a dynamic Sales Manager to secure new listings for our SAQUA portfolio of seafood brands in a range of different channels across the German speaking countries.
Speaking Chinese and/or Japanese as well would be a nice advantage but is not critical.
In this role you will be responsible for both activating new retail and restaurant customers, and managing existing customers. An important aspect of this role is independent market research and the qualification of new opportunities across all channels.
A good vast network of contacts in retail and HORECA in this industry would be helpful
The role is likely part-time. You'll get the flexibility to work both from home but some travel doing roadshows and visiting clients.
Also the opportunity to visit our fishery partners around the world if you have an interest in this.
