At Real Pet Food, we're driven by passion, innovation, and a shared love of pets. Our brands — Ivory Coat, Billy + Margot, Fussy Cat, Nature's Gift, VIP, and Trilogy — are trusted and loved by millions, and we're on a mission to change the game in pet nutrition.
If you're commercially sharp, customer-focused and ready to make your mark in one of the most exciting growth channels in FMCG, this is your opportunity to step into a role where you can truly shape the category and develop your career.

The Opportunity
Our Field Sales team are excited to be looking for a Territory Sales Representative (known internally as Territory Sales Manager) to be based in North NSW, who's a real animal lover and ready to join our fast-paced business. We're one of Australia's fastest-growing companies in the pet industry and we're looking for someone who's not afraid to step into this autonomous hands-on role in one of our key territories.
In this customer-focused role you will be responsible for the growth and management of Pet Specialty retailers and wholesalers within an assigned geographical territory (Northern NSW). You will be provided with a fully serviced RPF Vehicle and Tools of the Trade.
This role will suit someone who could currently be a Manager in a Pet Specialty Store who loves our products and is looking to make the move into being a brand rep. Or you could be an existing rep for a Pet Product and want to make a career move into a growing company
You'll ensure the delivery of agreed KPIs including financial targets, call coverage, training, NPD, key execution metrics, and compliance in Pet Specialty.
Whilst you will work autonomously (our Head Office is in Crows Nest), you will be part of a team that values collaboration, celebrates the wins, and share the opportunities in the broader Pet Specialty market. This role does not have staff management responsibilities.
