About Onest Energy

Onest Energy is a fast-growing UK natural energy drink brand built on one simple belief: energy should be Onest.

We create clean, functional energy drinks made with natural caffeine, magnesium, and B vitamins — no artificial ingredients, no unnecessary sugar, and no misleading claims.

Our mission is to become the go-to energy drink for people who want performance without compromise.

This is an early-stage, high-growth opportunity. You won’t just be selling cases — you’ll be building regional momentum for a challenger brand with serious ambition.

The Role

We’re looking for a driven, hands-on Freelance Field Sales Representative to grow Onest Energy across Essex, London and the East of England.

This is a field-first role. You’ll spend the majority of your time on the ground:

• Opening new accounts

• Logging data from visits

• Running tastings and activations

• Supporting launches

• Building relationships with site managers

• Driving reorders and in-venue visibility

You will own your region and play a key role in how Onest shows up in-market.

Who This Is Perfect For

Someone who thrives face-to-face.

Someone who enjoys building momentum account by account.

Someone who wants more ownership than a traditional corporate field sales role.

If you’re commercially driven, organised, and excited about building a challenger brand on the ground — we’d love to hear from you.
