About Us

Badiani is an Italian brand with Gelato stores in the UK, Italy, France and Spain! We were founded in 1932 and entered the UK market in 2016. We now bring joy and colour to the lives of thousands daily through our beautiful concept stores and award-winning GELATO! We are a fast-growing business and are entering more exciting markets in 2025, whilst growing our E-commerce and B2B platforms. As such, we're now looking for an experienced retail / FMCG B2B Sales Manager with relevant food experience within Spanish markets, used to working at pace, making an impact quickly and taking ownership of a territory.

Overview

In a market dominated by low-quality products and limited presence of authentic artisan gelato, as Sales Manager, you will drive the expansion of Badiani's B2B business focusing on the Iberian market, potentially also into the French Mediterranean area. Your mission is to identify opportunities, build a strong pipeline, convert leads, and manage client relationships to deliver revenue growth and profitability. You will report directly to the Board & CEO, while working closely with the Head of Country Iberia to align on logistics & production capacity.

This position offers clear progression into a senior leadership role as the business scales.

We Need

A strong Sales / Business Development B2B background in the food industry, along with a true hunger for success, will be key to thriving in this role. It's essential you'll have sold into Iberian markets - and you will understand the challenges of working in a small but fast-paced growth retail / FMCG / manufacturing business. This is not a siloed or highly structured position, you'll be defining, strategising and delivering, generating your own pipeline from scratch, arranging meetings, attending events, using your own network and your own successful sales tactics to build business and increase our revenue from a B2B standpoint.

The Role

As part of your remit, you will :

• Conduct market research to understand customer market sizing, market segmentation by customer type, competition in each relevant segment, and geography trends.
• Build and maintain a robust sales pipeline (cold calling, networking, referrals, events).
• Build and maintain a robust sales reporting and monitoring system.
• Work with the Marketing team on the conversion of marketing-generated leads.
• Identify and engage with potential clients to generate new business and expand our presence in the Iberian market.
• Prepare and present compelling proposals that meet client needs.
• Negotiate contracts, pricing, and terms to secure profitable agreements and close deals..
• Lead
