Sales & Applications Executive
who enjoys working closely with food manufacturers, understanding their production processes, and helping them get the most out of quality ingredients.

Role Purpose

To strengthen our partnerships with ready-meal and food-service manufacturers by providing
practical, field-level support
on product application, yield improvement, and formulation efficiency — while working closely with our
in-house NPD Chef at the Knoxx Innovation Centre

This role is as much about
listening and problem-solving
as it is about selling.

  • Recommend application methods or dosage adjustments that optimise performance and cost-efficiency.

    in-house NPD Chef (Chef Sachin)
    to plan and host joint demonstrations at the
    Knoxx Innovation Centre
    .
  • Support the Chef by preparing case examples, field learnings, and customer-specific data to make demos practical and outcome-driven.
  • Document demo learnings and ensure insights are shared with the sales and R&D teams.

Business Development & Growth

  • Identify potential new ready-meal manufacturers, central kitchens, and co-packers.
  • Present Knoxx's ingredient solutions with a focus on functional and commercial value.
  • Maintain active pipelines in CRM and follow up on trials and conversions.

Collaboration & Reporting

  • Work hand-in-hand with Sales, Marketing, R&D, and Operations teams.
  • Provide structured feedback from the market for product improvements and innovation opportunities.
  • Submit concise weekly visit reports and progress updates to the Chief Sales Officer.

Qualifications & Experience

Experience

Skills

Tools

Comfortable using CRM systems, Google Workspace, and video based product presentation.

Personality Fit

  • Curious, empathetic, and commercially minded.
  • Enjoys being on the road and in production kitchens alike.
  • Collaborates naturally with chefs and technical teams rather than competing with them.

Why Join Knoxx

  • Be part of a company that values long-term partnerships and transparent relationships.
  • Work closely with leading ready-meal manufacturers and help shape how Australia cooks at scale.
  • Opportunity to grow into a
    Senior Technical Sales Manager
    or
    Applications Lead
    as the segment expands.
