• Plan and manage your own journey across your territory
• Use simple mobile apps to record your visits, report activity and share insights

You'll be:

• Confident, friendly and comfortable approaching new people
• Great at building relationships with different types of people
• Self-motivated and happy managing your own day
• Organised and able to plan your territory effectively
• Able to spot opportunities and take action
• Comfortable working independently in a field-based role
• Confident using apps and technology on your phone

What's in it for you?

• Competitive salary plus up to 10% bonus

Why join us?

You'll be part of an exciting new Unilever convenience-store campaign, representing household brands that millions of people recognise.

You'll have the freedom to manage your own territory and see the impact of your work every day – whether that's getting products back onto shelves, improving visibility or building relationships that help drive sales.
