What You'll Do

Identify and close new business across restaurants, cafés, hospitality, and corporate clients

Read the market — spot trends, gaps, and opportunities before competitors do

Build genuine relationships through field marketing — you're comfortable outside the office

Craft compelling pitches that turn "just looking" into signed deals

Gather competitive and market intelligence that shapes our sales strategy

Represent the TPPC brand with polish, persuasion, and a story worth remembering

Build and manage a healthy sales pipeline — track leads, follow-ups, and conversion, not just first meetings

Turn client conversations into product feedback — you're often our first signal when a client's needs are shifting

Own relationships beyond the first sale — repeat business and referrals matter as much as new logos

Represent TPPC at trade fairs, industry events, and networking spaces where our next big client might be standing

Who You Are

A natural closer — you don't wait for the sale, you make it happen

Sharp observer with strong market/competitive intelligence instincts

A storyteller who can make packaging sound exciting (yes, really)

Comfortable and energized by field work, not just desk work

Persuasive without being pushy — you build trust fast

Self-driven, target-motivated, and hungry for growth

Resilient — comfortable with rejection and quick to bounce back and try the next door

Organized enough to juggle multiple leads and clients without dropping the ball

Why TPPC

Join a growing manufacturer at a pivotal moment — more clients, more products, more room to make your mark and grow into bigger opportunities as the company scales.
