A full UK driving licence is required for this role

Nationwide (roles will be based either in the North, Central or South of the UK), in this role you’ll work in a hybrid way splitting your time between home and visiting our external retail partners (find out more about our hybrid working policy at colleagues.coop.co.uk/hybrid-working-policy).  

We’re looking for a Regional Sales Manager to join our brand new Quick Commerce Aggregator team. 

Our aggregator app makes customers' lives easier by offering them delivery services from local independent retailers. We’re setting up a new team to re-vamp and re-launch the app, and we’ve got some pretty ambitious growth targets to meet over the next few years.

Being part of this new team will feel fast, fun and fluid. We know it’s a cliche, but there really will be no two days the same! Think start-up vibes, but with all the knowledge and resources that come with a 180 year-old organisation.  

In return for your energy and ambition, we’ll do right by you by providing life-balance through hybrid and flexible working arrangements, as well as supportive, inclusive leadership and a whole host of opportunities to learn and grow.

What you’ll do

• Target retailers within your region and drive maximum success in participation on the app  
• Convert interest from retailers into a contracted independent retailer, transacting on the platform  
• Work with other Sales Managers to align and share success of breaking into the market  
• Feed back into the account manager with insights from independent retailers  
• Collaborate with the operational team and accounts when handing over independent retailers for launch of the stores on the app  
• Attend conferences to sell the proposition into a wider independent retailer market  
• Drive the awareness of the app to local retailers in your region  

This role would suit people who have

• Good regional knowledge and the ability to target local behaviours  
• Excellent communication skills both with internal and external teams  
• A good commercial understanding  
• The ability to operate independently and identify improvement opportunities to sell into the independent retailer market 
• The ability to work and prioritise tasks across multiple workstreams   

Why Co-op? 

If you have the skills that we need, we can offer you a competitive salary and great benefits package which includes 30% off Co-op branded products in our food stores (as well as other discounts on Co-op products and services).

• An annual bonus (based on personal and business performance) 
• 28 days holiday (rising to 32 with service) plus bank holidays  
• A pension with up to 10% employer contributions 
• Access to a subsidised onsite gym (at our Manchester HQ) 
• Coaching and training to support your career development 
• Wagestream app – giving you access to a percentage of your pay as you earn

At Co-op, we’re proud to do things a different way. As one of the world’s largest co-operatives, owned by millions of members, community is at the heart of what we do. Since our Co-op was founded in 1844, we’ve had a clear social purpose, and everything we do as a business helps to build a fairer world for our members, customers, colleagues, and communities.
