Job description

We’re looking for a results-driven Business Development Manager to grow Vilgain in South England 🇬🇧. Your focus will be independent retailers, gyms, wholefood & speciality stores, and office supply partners – building a thriving network of accounts in one of Europe’s most dynamic markets.

This role is about hustle, relationships and results: you’ll be in the field every day, opening doors, nurturing independents, and reporting on your performance. Experience in FMCG or e-commerce sales is a plus, but what really counts is your ability to create opportunities and grow revenue.

Vilgain is one of Europe’s fastest-growing lifestyle brands – and now we’re expanding in the UK. We need someone entrepreneurial, organised and hungry to make an impact.


What you’ll be doing

  • Expanding our footprint across independent retail, wholefood & speciality stores, gyms and nutrition networks.

  • Building strong long-term partnerships that drive sell-through and repeat business.

  • Running local activations and tastings to get Vilgain products into more hands.

  • Delivering daily reporting on pipeline, wins and KPIs.

  • Acting as the local face of Vilgain – working closely with our Sales Manager, CFO and CEO.

  • Managing your region independently – with regular travel and face-to-face client visits.

What we’re looking for

  • Proven experience in independent retail / FMCG / fitness sales (e-commerce knowledge a plus).

  • Performance mindset – comfortable with targets, KPIs and daily reporting.

  • Strong communication and negotiation skills to win and keep partners.

  • Fluent English.

  • Valid UK driving licence + willingness to spend most of your time on the road.

Why Join Vilgain?

  • Clear targets, full ownership, and visible monthly results.

  • A portfolio of 800+ premium SKUs customers already love.

  • A strong European brand, 100% YoY growth, and ambitious UK expansion.

  • Monthly credits to shop on vilgain.com, 25 days annual leave, and flexible work setup.

  • A team that’s fast, supportive, and results-driven.
