Full Time | Monday to Friday Salary package tailored to experience + Super + Company Car + Fuel + Monthly Dining Allowance

We're on the lookout for someone who is genuinely passionate about food.

Fino Foods is a wholesale importer and distributor of artisan speciality food. Since 2003 we've been travelling across Australia and around the world, sitting at producers' tables, attending trade shows, and building direct relationships with the makers behind our range. That range spans artisan cheese, charcuterie, conservas, couverture, olive oils, spices, condiments, and an acclaimed Japanese pantry range.

We supply chefs and hospitality operators who care about what they put on the plate. Our job is to find the world's best producers and bring their food to the people who'll do it justice.

At Fino, taste comes first. Always.

The Territory

Brisbane is your base. From there you'll manage key accounts across Greater South East Queensland — taking in the Gold Coast, Noosa, the Sunshine Coast, and the Northern Rivers. This territory contains some of the country's finest restaurants, hotels, and premium hospitality venues. These are clients worth knowing.

The Role

You'll manage and grow a defined client territory, building and deepening relationships with chefs, restaurateurs, and hotel F&B teams by introducing them to new products and producers, identifying what each account could be doing more of, and making sure your service keeps them loyal.

When producers visit, you'll host and connect them with the clients who'll value them most. It's one of the genuinely great parts of this job.

This is not a volume play. It's not cold-calling. It's relationship-driven, knowledge-based work — the kind where the quality of the conversation matters as much as the sale. The chefs and buyers you'll be working with are serious professionals. They'll expect you to know your product, and we'll make sure you do.

The Package

Salary tailored to your experience. We'd rather have a genuine conversation than advertise a bracket that doesn't fit. Whether you're making a first move into sales or bringing years of it, we'll put together a package that reflects what you bring.

• Company car, fuel, and all work-related expenses fully covered.
• Monthly dining allowance so you can eat at the restaurants and venues you work with. Knowing your clients' food is part of doing this job well. This is how we support that.
• Comprehensive product and sales training. You'll spend real time with the range and with the team. We're serious about knowledge — it's the foundation of how we sell.
• Monday to Friday. No weekends, no late nights.

Direct access to world-class producers. When you work at Fino, you're connected to some of the finest artisan food makers in Spain, Italy, Japan, and Australia.

About Fino Foods

Fino Foods was founded in Brisbane in 2003 by Michael and Nicki Dalton — starting from a garage, with a handful of speciality products and a simple idea: find the best food in the world and bring it to the chefs and retailers who'll appreciate it.

More than two decades later, we import and distribute across Queensland, New South Wales, and the ACT. We have a purpose-built, ISO 22000-certified warehouse in Brisbane, a team of long-standing specialists, and direct supplier relationships built over years of buying trips to Spain, Italy, Japan, and beyond.

We're privately owned. We're about finding food that genuinely tastes better than anything else, and making sure Australian chefs and hospitality operators can access it.

How to Apply

The cover letter matters. Tell us:

1. What your connection to food is — what you eat, what you cook, what draws you to this category.

2. How does your previous experience prepares you for success in a sales role?

Applications without a cover letter will not be considered.

Full working rights in Australia required. Current Australian driver's licence required.

Who We're Looking For

Sales experience is valued but not required. What is required:

• Genuine passion for food. You eat well, you're curious about provenance, you have opinions about what makes a great ingredient.
• Strong people skills. Clients look forward to seeing you, not just hearing from you.
• Organisation and reliability. You follow through. Every time.
• Drive to build something. You're accountable for your territory and you take that seriously.
• Current Australian driver's licence and full working rights in Australia.

The right candidate might come from fine dining, speciality food retail, wine and beverage, or a similar background. If you're currently in hospitality and want Monday-to-Friday work you're genuinely proud of, this is worth a serious look. If you're an experienced food sales rep looking for a more specialist, more interesting portfolio, we'd like to hear from you too
