Our new Sales & Training Manager
If you're intrigued and excited by what you've read so far, let's see if you have what it takes to meet our uncompromising standards.
You will already have business to business sales or account management experience and you've probably gained that in a health or wellbeing environment. It's important to us that you understand nutrition, the power of plants and complementary practices, either through qualifications, practice or demonstrable interest.
Of course your education and background aren't the whole picture. When it comes to who you are and how you operate, we will need someone who's:
- Incredibly self motivated and able to sustain energy and enthusiasm in a remote setting;
- A natural relationship builder, doing the right things for a healthy and lasting relationship;
- Got 'sales animal' characteristics, blended with 'educator' communication skills and empathy;
- Naturally discerning and organised (able to maximise outputs in a fast paced growth business).
And it goes without saying that you need to be passionate about Pukka and everything we stand for.
What should you do next?
If you're not familiar with Pukka, grab a cuppa (preferably one of ours!) and check out the Pukka Planet to get a full understanding of who we are, what we do and why we do it.
If you think Pukka and this opportunity is for you, please apply below. Our process, a lot like Pukka, is a bit different so we think it's important to tell you a little about it first. You'll be taken to our application system and asked to register (which takes just a few seconds), then you'll have the opportunity to create your profile and upload your CV - nothing special about it so far! Then, we'll ask you to record 3 short videos (there are full instructions) answering the following questions:
- Who are you?
- How do you relate to others?
- Heart or head?
After the closing date Wednesday 15th February, we'll shortlist and be in touch with you about next steps.
