Job Description:

Field Sales Executive — Leisure Marine East & West Sussex, Hampshire  |  Full-Time  |  Permanent
  
Salary: £28,000 base + monthly commission  |  OTE £34,000+
Imagine starting your Tuesday at a marina in Chichester, grabbing a coffee with a boatyard manager who's been a loyal customer for years, and finishing the afternoon at a chandlery in Lymington — all from the driver's seat of your own fully stocked van. No two days the same. No desk in sight.
The role We're looking for an ambitious, people-first sales person to take ownership of our Southern territory. You'll be the face of our brand out on the road — visiting chandleries, boatyards and marine businesses, building genuine relationships, and driving sales from your mobile showroom.
This role suits someone early in their sales career who wants real autonomy fast, or a more experienced rep ready for a territory they can truly call their own. We'll give you proper training, great products, and a team that has your back.
What you'll be doing

• Managing your fully stocked sales van and planning your own routes across Southern England
• Visiting chandleries, riggers, boatyards and other marine businesses — building relationships that last
• Turning conversations into orders and keeping customers coming back
• Staying sharp on products, market trends, and customer needs
• Hitting (and exceeding) your monthly sales targets

  
What we're looking for

• Some sales experience — B2B is a bonus, but we're open to the right person from any background
• A passion for the water, outdoors, or marine world is a great start — sailing or marine sector experience is a bonus, not a requirement
• A natural people person — confident, warm, and able to build trust quickly
• Self-motivated and well-organised; comfortable working independently
• Strong at reading a conversation and knowing when to close
• Full, clean UK driving licence
• Happy to travel the length and breadth of Southern and South East England — you’ll spend around 7–8 nights per month on the road, with all accommodation and expenses fully covered. For the right person, waking up in a different harbour town is part of the appeal

What's in it for you

• £28,000 base salary + uncapped monthly commission (OTE £34,000+)
• Fully stocked company van
• Structured onboarding and ongoing product training
• All travel and overnight expenses covered
• A small, down-to-earth team that genuinely has your back
• Career progression — several of our current managers started in exactly this role

  
About us We're a well-established, highly respected business within the leisure marine sector, known for quality products and long-standing customer relationships around the world. We promote from within wherever possible, and we'll be upfront about where this role can take you from day one.
