Join our South West team.

Do you enjoy building relationships, working independently, and being out and about in your local community? Looking for your foot in the door with a well-known media organisation? We have an exciting opportunity for an enthusiastic and relationship-focused Retail Representative to join our team and take ownership of our South West territory.

As the face of our brands across the region, you'll work closely with retail partners to ensure our titles are well represented in-store, prominently displayed, and positioned for strong sales outcomes.

This hands-on, field-based role is all about building great relationships, delivering excellent in-store execution, and identifying opportunities to maximise sales and visibility across your territory. You'll regularly visit retail outlets, support promotional activity, and work collaboratively with store teams to achieve the best possible results.

Offering plenty of variety and autonomy, this role involves regular travel throughout the South West and is ideally suited to someone who enjoys being on the road, connecting with people, and taking pride in making a tangible impact every day.

- Keep stock levels right - maximising sales while minimising returns.

- Stay on top of your territory with regular visits and clear execution standards.

- Spot new opportunities to grow distribution in cafés, hospitality venues and local businesses.

- Use data and insights to improve performance and optimise supply.





- Keep things running smoothly with accurate reporting and Salesforce updates.
