Patties Foods - 'Creators of irresistible comfort food'

The business

Patties Foods is a true Australian success story. With humble beginnings in 1966 as a family-owned cake shop in Lakes Entrance, Victoria, we have grown into one of Australia's most loved manufacturers, suppliers and marketers of leading branded frozen savoury, frozen meals and dessert products.

Our portfolio includes iconic brands Four'N Twenty, Patties Savoury Finger Foods, Herbert Adams, Boscastle and Nanna's, with a vision to create irresistible comfort food for all Australians, for all occasions.

Our company values of courage, trust, integrity and ownership reflect our origin as a proudly local company and have helped form a strong foundation for international growth. Patties Foods' brands have become household names across the nation, but to make our great brands happen, we need great people - and that's where you come in.

The role

We currently have an opportunity for a Business Development Manager to join our Sales team, located in Mentone. This is a full time, permanent role, and there will be regional travel required.

You will be up for the challenge of seeking out and growing the business within VIC and TAS in the Foodservice channel for the entire Patties Foods range of products. You will be at home in this exciting and stimulating position which will see you implementing effective sales processes and systems while continually developing and growing new business.

Your enthusiasm and energetic nature will serve you well as you strive to exceed sales objectives through exceptional customer service and professional representation of our iconic brands. Prior experience in a Business Development role in the food industry / FMCG market will be an advantage but is not essential. This is a great opportunity for a savvy salesperson to launch their career in the FMCG industry.

Being a self-starter, you will be ready to hit the ground running and contribute fresh ideas to the table when it comes to growing the Victorian and Tasmanian business. The day will be challenging and varied and no two days alike, so a keen grasp of time management and the ability to hit deadlines is a must.

If this sounds like you, submit your application by Friday 26 March 2021.

We do not accept unsolicited resumes from employment agencies. No fee of any type will be paid in the event we hire a candidate whose resume is submitted by an employment agency to any of our employees without a valid written recruitment agreement. Such resumes shall be deemed the sole property of Patties Foods.
