Global branded food champion Flora Food Group, offers the next generation of delicious, natural, nutritious food. Our products are more affordable and more sustainable than their dairy equivalents.

About The Position

This position is part of our dynamic Sales Team within the Foodservice channel.

In this critical role, you’ll be at the forefront of expanding our presence across the commercial chain and CPU sectors.

To leverage our technical, category, and culinary expertise and bring our leading brands closer to our customers — driving growth, penetration, and long-term business success will be your mission.

This is a temporary assignment until April 2026 , with potential to be extended based on business needs and performance.

Main Responsibilities

• Build and execute commercial proposals using complex sales models, investment structures, and rebates to maximize growth and profitability.
• Lead and manage a matrix customer base — collaborating with technical, purchasing, and marketing contacts.
• Partner cross-functionally with marketing, technical, and culinary teams to create compelling selling stories across the Upfield portfolio.
• Drive Upfield’s growth through data-driven decision-making.
• Develop tailored recipes and solutions, understanding customer needs in collaboration with executive chefs.
• Focus on long-term negotiations to build strong and sustainable relationships.
• Although mainly hybrid-office-based in Barcelona, occasional travel will be required to visit customers.
• Act as a trusted sales consultant, combining technical food knowledge with strong commercial acumen.

What Does It Take to Be Successful?

To be successful in this role, you should bring a minimum of two years of experience within the foodservice chains or CPUs channel in Spain. You have strong commercial and negotiation skills, ideally developed in a multinational food industry environment, and you demonstrate a true hunter mentality — eager to open new accounts while having the perseverance to nurture and grow existing partnerships. A background as a chef or strong knowledge of food technology will be highly valued, as this expertise will help you better understand and meet customer needs.

Being a true team player is essential. You will be part of one of the largest and most energetic Foodservice teams in Europe, but you must also be able to work independently and drive your own success. Adaptability, creativity, and problem-solving skills are key, as you will navigate an evolving and fast-paced environment where resilience and a proactive mindset make all the difference.

A network of key customer groups (Sodexo, Mcdonald's or similar) is considered a strong advantage. You must be a native Spanish speaker , and while not mandatory, English skills are a nice-to-have in this role. Above all, bringing a lot of positive energy, solid operational acumen, and a long-term vision will be critical to thriving and making an impact in this position.
