Description

SALES MERCHANDISER - WEST MIDLANDS & SURROUNDING AREA

Ideally located around Stoke on Trent

MIMS POTTERY & ERRINGTON REAY

SUMMARY

Due to rapid expansion, we are looking for an enthusiastic and professional individual to add to our growing team of Sales Merchandisers.

THE COMPANY

Mims and Errington Reay are amongst the UK's leading brands of outdoor pots and garden products to the garden centres and major retailers for over 35 years.

The company has achieved considerable growth in recent times and recruiting for a full-time permanent Merchandiser, ideally placed in West Midlands around the postcodes of ST, DE, LE, BD, LS, CW, SK, with an immediate start.

THE ROLE

Based from home but working remotely, you will be responsible for managing the requirements of our existing customer base within a defined geography, primarily around the population centres of West Midlands.

You will work alongside our sales team to make sure that customers are professionally serviced, ensuring that displays are always full, handling credit refunds, product ordering and other customer service-related tasks.

This is a dual role, with your time split between a traditional customer service function and the creation and maintenance of customer displays on-site.

As this role involves heavy lifting and handling of stock,
you must be physically fit and able to manually manage heavy loads.

Whilst full training will be provided, this role would suit someone who enjoys working outdoors and on their own.

You must be flexible with working hours during peak season, during which time you may be required to work alongside other colleagues to share the workload and better service the requirements of the business.

In exceptional circumstances, you will be asked to service locations that involve long distance driving, which may require an overnight stay.

You will report directly into the National Merchandising Controller and will update the business with the required reports and updates concerning your accounts.

TRAINING
The company will provide full on-site training for the role. Depending on scheduling, your training may take place elsewhere in the UK, so flexibility will be required.

Training is usually conducted over a weeklong period, after which time you will be expected to be able to function largely independently.

Your training block will include both practical and theory-based information, requiring some work from home.

COMPANY VEHICLE
You will be provided with a company Van and fuel card for business use only.

You must be over 25 and have held a clean, valid driving licence for a minimum of 2 years to be considered for this position.

REMUNERATION
- £25,000 per annum

Annual bonus scheme enrolment after probation
Vehicle, fuel card, mobile phone and all required work wear and tools
20 days holiday plus 8 statutory holidays for the first year, rising to a maximum of 25 days with service.

This position is a full time, permanent appointment with a 6-month probation period.

REQUIRED CONDUCT
As you are representing our businesses in our customers' environment, you are our brand
ambassador.

You are expected to conduct yourself in a professional, pleasant and co-operative manner, taking steps to protect the confidentiality of our businesses and deliver a positive experience for our customers.

NO AGENCIES PLEASE.
