About the Role

  • We are looking for a field-driven Sales Manager who is a high-energy operator who can lead teams, open new markets, close big accounts, and grow revenue in a fast-paced FMCG environment (fresh/short-shelf-life products).

Key Responsibilities
Sales Leadership & Execution:

  • Lead, motivate, and manage an active sales team across assigned territories.
  • Build and expand a strong network of distributors, wholesalers, supermarkets, and modern trade partners.
  • Drive territory penetration and aggressively grow market share.
  • Monitor daily/weekly sales dashboards, team performance, and coverage efficiency.

  • Negotiate deals, pricing, and visibility arrangements that increase product movement.
  • Develop and execute route-to-market strategies for both existing and new product lines.

Field Presence & Market Visibility:

  • Spend significant time in the field ensuring product availability, shelf placement, price compliance, and activation activities.
  • Track competitor activities and respond with smart, swift counter-moves.

  • Continuously explore new market opportunities to increase product uptake.

  • Minimum of HND or B.Sc. in Marketing, Business Administration, or any related field.
  • Additional training in sales, negotiation, or FMCG distribution is a strong advantage.
  • Proven track record of hitting sales targets — not theoretical achievements.
  • Strong team leadership and coaching ability.
  • Excellent negotiation, relationship-building, and market activation skills.
  • Must be field-oriented, energetic, and comfortable with daily on-the-road execution.
  • Ability to work under pressure and meet aggressive timelines.
