Sales Representative - Oxford

Salary £24,155 basic with realistic earnings of £35k per annum

This is a permanent position working on average 40 hours, over a 5 day week which includes working the majority of weekends

Sell something you believe in .

Riverford is not your typical business and this is no typical sales role. Our organic veg boxes have become iconic over 30 years, embodying a business that has always trodden its own path (with ethics, sustainability and great food at its core). Our award winning sales teams come from all walks of life with a wide variety of previous experience. What unites them is personality, a passion for what we do and a talent for conversation.

For the love of the outdoors .

Our sales reps travel in one of our famous Live Life OnThe Veg vans with locations that are on your doorstep and others that will be worth the road trip, popping up at busy high streets, markets, local shows and huge foodie events. Once theyve used their creative flair to set up fantastic looking stands, theyll set about offering tasters and striking up conversations with anyone and everyone about how cooking and food shopping fit into their lives and where our wonderful seasonal produce could play a part.

Our warm, approachable and engaging team have a tremendous knowledge of our business and a glass half full attitude, answering questions and overcoming objections to persuade the public to try and different and more sustainable way of shopping and cooking.

This role is far from a 9 to 5, with no two days the same. A reps working week is a minimum of 40 hours, 5 days over 7 including the majority of weekends across the year (key times for shows and potential to sign up a lot of new customers!). 33 days paid holiday include a two week break over the Festive period, a great time for our team to put their feet up and toast a successful year!
