- Previous experience in a field-based sales or Territory Manager role.
- Confidence using CRM and Microsoft Office tools to stay organised and report on progress.
- A full UK driving licence and readiness to travel across your region.
- Strong communication, problem-solving, and planning skills.
- A team-focused, can-do attitude — you care about doing the job well and being part of something bigger.
- Experience in the pet industry is a bonus, but not essential.
