About the role

PZ Cussons Nigeria Plc is recruiting a Territory Sales Manager in Lagos to support sales growth by working closely with distributors and field sales teams. The role places the successful candidate close to the market, where the focus is on bringing the company's brands closer to consumers and customers, strengthening commercial relationships and helping translate sales plans into results. Because the position is territory-focused, it is suited to someone who is comfortable working with customers and distribution partners, monitoring market activity and following up on sales execution. The listing describes the position as being at the forefront of bringing brands closer to consumers and customers, with responsibility involving distributors and field sales teams. This means an applicant should be able to demonstrate practical commercial thinking rather than only general marketing knowledge. Useful evidence could include managing territories, working with distributors, supporting route-to-market activities, increasing sales volumes, improving product availability or maintaining customer relationships. The advertised role is full-time but is listed as a contract position, based in Lagos. It requires BA/BSc/HND and one year of experience, making it accessible to candidates who have already gained some relevant commercial exposure but may not have many years of management experience. The deadline is October 2, 2026. Salary is not stated in the listing. Applicants should tailor their CV to sales execution, customer management and territory performance. Where numbers are available, candidates should show achievements such as sales growth, target attainment, number of outlets/customers managed or distribution improvements. The company is a major consumer-goods business with brands across personal care, home care, food and nutrition and electrical categories, so experience in FMCG, distribution or field sales can be particularly relevant.
