Business Development Manager — Golden Penny Coco Crush

🏢 Abelinis Limited / Flour Mills of Nigeria · 📍 Lagos

Not stated

About the role

Abelinis Limited is recruiting Business Development Managers on behalf of Flour Mills of Nigeria to support the sales and growth of Golden Penny Coco Crush across selected markets in Lagos. The role is field-based and centred on direct market development: visiting wholesalers, retailers and other outlets, generating orders, developing new customers and ensuring that the product is available and visible in the assigned market. This means the successful candidate needs to be comfortable spending significant time in the field rather than expecting a purely office-based business-development position. The job combines customer acquisition with execution. It is not enough to identify potential customers; the manager must build relationships, secure orders and help ensure the product reaches the right outlets and remains visible. The listing accepts BA/BSc/HND or OND and asks for 1–2 years of experience, making it more accessible than many management-level sales roles. The vacancy is full-time and onsite in Lagos, with an October 11, 2026 deadline. Applicants should focus their CV on practical sales performance: territories covered, wholesalers or retailers managed, new accounts opened, orders generated, targets achieved and products or brands previously handled. FMCG or field-sales experience can be particularly useful, but applicants should describe actual responsibilities rather than simply naming an industry. Because the role involves regular market visits, candidates should also be prepared to demonstrate communication skills, persistence, route planning, customer follow-up and the ability to work independently in the field. The opportunity can be relevant to a sales professional building experience in fast-moving consumer goods and distribution, especially someone who wants responsibility for developing a defined market. The listing states that the recruitment is being conducted by Abelinis on behalf of Flour Mills of Nigeria, so applicants should pay attention to the exact employer and application instructions when submitting their CV.
