The Klinsmann Partnership Ltd
Brand Ambassador - Vaping
Job Location
Egerton, United Kingdom
Job Description
Brand Ambassador - Vaping
Permanent/full-time
Location: Bolton and surrounding areas
Salary: £24-28k base + commission (£30-35k realistic OTE in your first year)
The Role:
The Klinsmann Partnership are now seeking to appoint a Brand Ambassador.
Reporting to the Managing Director, you will be responsible for a wide range of field-based relationship-building and merchandising activity across our portfolio of vaping and nicotine alternative brands, with an emphasis on ‘farming’ (nurturing/improving relationships with our established network of stockists in Bolton and other areas in the vicinity).
‘Hunting’ (assisting in acquiring new retailer customers) activities will also be a small part of what you are doing if potential retailer customers are struggling to purchase our products or are looking for an easier way to stock them, but this role will revolve more around improving services for our current customers than finding new business opportunities.
This is a newly created position due to proven business need and to enable/support further business development and growth, particularly in the Bolton area.
As this is a field-based role, it is absolutely essential that you have a full UK driving licence and are able to use your own vehicle for business travel in the local area. All travel expenses will be reimbursed, including your vehicle use at 45p per mile.
Your responsibilities will include activities such as the following:
* Visiting shops in Bolton and nearby places to promote and sell the company’s products, ensuring optimal shelf space and visibility
* Developing and maintaining positive relationships with store owners and staff to foster brand loyalty and encourage product sales
* Assessing each store’s product displays and work to improve the presence and positioning of the company’s products
* Identifying and approaching new stores that do not yet stock the product, presenting the benefits and securing orders to expand market presence
* Monitoring stock levels and assist stores with reordering to prevent product shortages
* Collecting feedback from store owners/staff on product performance to gather competitive insights, and reporting findings to the relevant team/colleagues internally
* Supporting the growth of the territory by achieving and exceeding commercial targets, with the potential to mentor/train and eventually manage future Brand Ambassador hires as the team expands
* Working with our in-house graphic design team in order to assist each store in remaining regularly updated with new artwork/visuals e.g. banners, adverts, etc.
We are looking for candidates to have some experience/attributes in the following key areas:
* 2+ years’ experience in brand ambassador/merchandising/brand activation/field sales work, preferably within the vaping, nicotine products or FMCG sectors. We would also consider candidates with a strong background in customer-led retail work of some description.
* A full UK driving licence and your own vehicle to use for business travel in the local area is essential – all travel expenses will be reimbursed in full
* Experience in the vaping or nicotine products industry is highly advantageous, as is familiarity with how independent retail environments operate
You will need the following skills in order to succeed in this role:
* A persuasive and confident approach to commercial matters, with a customer-focused attitude
* An affinity for managing/growing existing accounts and relationships in particular and creating opportunities with new customers
* Excellent interpersonal and communication skills to build strong relationships with store owners and staff
* Strong organizational skills for planning and scheduling store visits in order to manage your territory effectively
* Self-motivated and goal-oriented, with a passion for growing the brand’s market share.
* An entrepreneurial flair/ambition and a strong sense of business acumen
Benefits:
* A strong commission scheme to reward you for your efforts in growing the business (realistic potential total earnings figures are as follows: £30-35k OTE in year 1, £35-40k OTE in year 2 and £40-45k OTE in year 3)
* Business expenses reimbursed in full
* 25 days’ holiday allowance per year (in addition to bank holidays)
* Smart-casual dress code (wear whatever you feel comfortable in)
* Diverse, international workforce
* Relaxed, low-pressure environment; but with a keen focus on delivery and achieving success
* Fun social events outside of work
* Modern, professional office in a convenient location in Bolton town centre with nearby public transport options/motorway access and on-site car parking available
* We are very open to new ideas, so please feel free to suggest/request anything that we can do in order to make you more likely to perform at your maximum, and we will certainly do our best to implement it if it makes sense for everyone
The Company:
We are a fast-growing start-up marketing business, with our key focus currently being on the vaping/nicotine alternatives market.
Our goal is to ensure our Bar Juice 5000 brand retains its position as the UK's fastest selling brand in its category and expand into new markets in Europe, while also creating/growing other high-performing brands in addition.
