• Managing the process for range change to ensure it’s implemented effectively with no disruption to supply.
• Continually developing and improving processes to increase efficiency.
• Maximising the commercial performance of the Myton business.

We’re looking for someone who:

• Has proven commercial and account management experience, ideally within the meat industry or wider chilled/frozen food manufacturing.
• Understands what great partnership looks like and can represent Myton Food Group confidently with a key customer like Morrisons.
• Is proactive, organised and solutions‑focused, someone who gets stuck in and makes things happen.
• Has a can‑do attitude, goes the extra mile and thrives in a fast‑moving environment.
