Area Sales Manager
Littlewick Green
Drinking coffee today shouldn’t stop us drinking coffee tomorrow.
But it will – unless we change the way coffee is bought and sold. Because if farmers can’t make a living growing coffee, they’ll stop. And right now 80% of them aren’t.
So we put our growers first – buying from them directly, paying them fairly, and investing in training and support. We make sure our products and processes respect the earth and the people making a living off it. We’re open and specific about our approach, so other coffee companies can follow our lead.And we make sure our coffee tastes as decent as it acts, so you’ve got good reason to pick our pack off the shelf – turning an everyday ritual into a gamechanger.
We’re on the lookout for an Area Sales Manager to join our team in the South of England. This is a field-based role, reporting to the National Account Manager. You’ll need to live in or near the area you’ll be covering.
