About La Paleta

​

La Paleta is a small but rapidly growing business making the best all natural ice creams and icy poles in WA (or even Australia!). We love that we offer a locally made and healthy alternative to mainstream ice cream. Our brand is fresh with a natural style, and we are looking for someone who embodies these qualities.

​

We are a dynamic and motivated team of people working within a happy and supportive workplace. We pride ourselves on being a business that values equality, authenticity and community, and we want to attract someone who will be an asset to our team culture.

About the position

​

We believe the growth potential for our products is limitless and we are looking for someone with a can-do attitude to really make the most of this potential.

​

This role will primarily concentrate on increasing the availability and visibility of La Paleta in retail spaces across WA and Australia. The reality of a new small business means you will have a wide scope of tasks and responsibilities but the main focus of the role will be on growing sales. To date La Paleta has grown without a specific person in this role but we are ready to bring on a dedicated employee who can capitalise on our potential.

​

We want someone who is motivated and excited to grow our reach across the state significantly and explore national distribution. We're not looking for a cut-throat rep, we want someone who has excellent communication skills and who is personable, friendly and passionate about what we're doing – making 100% natural ice cream that tastes great.

​

 

The Role:

​

• Maintain strong relationships with our existing stockists through active communication and support

• Identify opportunities and grow distribution by signing on new stockists

• Develop and implement strategic plans

• Provide support in all areas of business administration

• Process orders and monitor sales numbers for all stockists

• Manage relevant databases for orders, sales figures and customer accounts

• Activate tastings and merchandising in venues

• Identify opportunities to drive promotional activity

 

Successful candidates will ideally have:

​

• A positive and ambitious attitude with a strong work ethic

• Experience in sales/marketing

• Confident communication skills, both written and verbal

• Strong understanding of the 'Sales Process' and how to convert client conversations into sales

• Experience in administration

• Experience in supply chain processes and logistics
