Sales Representative/Business Development Representative

About us

HydroWatt Zero is a young beverage startup bringing a fresh, innovative take on canned sparkling drinks to the UAE. We're a small team with a lean setup, a clear vision, and big ambitions. If you'd rather help build a brand from the ground up than be a small part of a big machine, we'd love to hear from you.

The role

We're looking for an energetic, driven B2B FMCG sales representative to take our drinks into retail and wholesale channels across Abu Dhabi and the wider UAE. This starts as a freelance gig with a clear path to a full-time role once you prove your traction. You'll be the face of the brand in the field: opening doors, pitching, negotiating, and closing deals. This is a hands-on, on-the-move role where your earnings—and your future with the company—grow directly with the business you bring in.

What you'll do

• Find and win new B2B retail and wholesale accounts, including supermarkets, grocery stores, cafés, restaurants, and distributors
• Leverage your existing relationships with retailers to get early placements and build momentum for the brand
• Lead client meetings and product presentations, representing the brand with confidence
• Negotiate commercial terms and close contracts
• Spend most of your day in the field on calls, store visits, and follow-ups
• Build long-term relationships with retail buyers and clients that lead to repeat orders and growth
• Share market feedback with the team to help shape our marketing and product direction
• Keep track of your pipeline and report on sales progress

What we're looking for

• Proven experience as a B2B sales rep in the FMCG sector with strong, active relationships with retailers
• A bachelor's degree, at minimum, in Business, Marketing, or a related field
• A solid track record of closing deals, or a clear natural ability to do so
• Excellent communication and people skills, with confidence in meetings and negotiations
• Comfort being out and about all day on calls and client visits
• A real interest in food and beverage, consumer trends, and new brands, plus a good instinct for marketing
• A self-motivated, entrepreneurial mindset and the energy to thrive in a startup
• Currently based in the UAE, ideally in Abu Dhabi (we're flexible for the right candidate)

What we offer

• Flexible Start & Growth: Starts as a freelance gig with the opportunity to transition into a full-time position based on performance
• Visa Support: UAE employment visa will be provided/arranged for the right candidate
• Uncapped Earning Potential: Commission-based pay—a percentage of the contract value on every deal you close (rate open to discussion), scaling directly with your results
• Startup Impact: Direct access to the founding team and real influence on how an exciting, trendy beverage brand develops in the UAE market

How to apply

Apply through LinkedIn with your CV and a short note about your retail/FMCG network and a deal you're proud of closing.
