National Sales Manager – Food & Manufacturing

 At Aruma, we’re not just about business – we’re about heart. Every biscuit baked, every hamper packed, and every product sold helps create opportunities for people with a disability to live a great life – the life they want, the life they choose.

Now we’re looking for an energetic, self-starting National Sales Manager to drive growth across our three commercial streams: Aussie Biscuits, Manufacturing, and Summerland Farm. If you thrive on building relationships, closing deals, and representing a brand with purpose, this role could be for you.

This is a Permanent Full Time position, based on the Central Coast, NSW.

What you’ll be doing:

In this role, you’ll be the face of Aruma’s commercial ventures – taking our products and story out on the road to new and existing customers. Your focus will be on:

• Driving growth – consistently deliver against year-on-year sales growth targets, with a focus on securing new accounts and lifting revenue across biscuits, manufacturing, and Summerland Farm.
• Building connections – develop and maintain strong relationships with prospective B2B and B2C customers, setting up meet-and-greet opportunities, coffee catchups, and facility tours.
• Creating opportunities – actively prospect, pitch, and negotiate with customers across FMCG, retail, wholesale, hospitality, and corporate markets.
• Managing your pipeline – build, track, and report on an active sales pipeline, ensuring timely and accurate insights into conversion rates and revenue results to guide decision-making.
• Representing Aruma – attend expos, open days, and events to promote products and generate leads, ensuring every interaction reflects a professional, positive first impression.
• Collaborating with teams – maintain regular touchpoints with each business line lead (biscuits, manufacturing, and Summerland Farm) to align on opportunities, priorities, and delivery.
• Handing over with care – ensure a seamless transition for new customers to account managers, building trust and laying the foundation for long-term partnerships.

What you’ll bring:

• Proven track record in sales and business development, ideally in FMCG, food, retail/wholesale, or manufacturing.
• Strong negotiation, pitching, and relationship management skills, with confidence in cold calling and prospecting.
• A high level of energy, motivation, and resilience – you thrive on the chase and stay focused on results.
• Excellent communication and presentation skills, with the ability to engage diverse audiences.
• Commercial savvy and customer-first thinking, able to spot opportunities and balance outcomes with long-term impact.
