Zestara is a growing Australian food brand specializing in premium frozen ready-to-eat products.
We’re expanding our retail presence across Sydney and are looking for an energetic Part-Time Sales Representative to help us bring Zestara into more stores and build strong relationships with our retail partners.
This role would suit a university student, recent graduate, or someone early in their sales career who wants genuine hands-on experience helping grow an emerging FMCG brand.
The Role
You’ll spend much of your time out in the market meeting retailers, introducing Zestara and developing new business.
Your responsibilities will include
- Visiting prospective retailers across Sydney
- Introducing Zestara and presenting our product range to store owners and managers
- Opening new retail accounts and securing initial orders
- Following up with new accounts to generate repeat orders
- Maintaining relationships with existing stockists
- Identifying opportunities across independent supermarkets, grocery stores, ethnic and halal retailers, and other suitable retail channels
- Keeping track of leads, store visits, orders and follow-ups
- Gathering retailer and customer feedback
- Supporting Zestara's wider sales growth as the brand expands
Who We're Looking For We're looking for someone with the right attitude, confidence and initiative.
Previous sales experience is not essential, but will be highly regarded.
You should be
- Confident approaching new people and starting conversations
- Comfortable walking into a business and presenting a product
- Friendly, qualified and able to build relationships
- Self-motivated and able to work independently
- Persistent and comfortable with rejection
- Organized with good follow-up habits
- Available for 2 consistent days per week
- Comfortable travelling throughout Sydney for work
- Legally entitled to work in Australia
A driver's licence and access to a car is preferred, but we're open to candidates who can reliably travel between customers during their working day. Experience in sales, retail, hospitality, customer service or FMCG will be viewed favorably.
Pay & Incentives
This is a permanent part-time position with superannuation and applicable employee entitlements.
In addition to base pay, the role includes performance-based incentives for successfully bringing new retail accounts into the business.
As Zestara grows, there will also be opportunities for additional hours, increased responsibility and career progression.
Why Join Zestara?
This is an opportunity to gain hands-on experience in sales, business development and FMCG while being part of a growing Australian food brand.
You'll be able to see the direct impact of your work — from approaching a retailer for the first time to seeing Zestara stocked in their freezer.
How to Apply
Please send us your resume and a short introduction telling us about yourself and why you think you'd be good at approaching retailers and representing Zestara.
We're particularly interested in people who are confident, proactive and keen to build their sales experience.
