You’ll thrive in a fast-paced, collaborative environment, working cross-functionally to bring new initiatives to life while maintaining strong internal and external relationships.

What’s in it for you?

We believe in giving back and making sure you're happy and thriving. Here's a taste of what we offer:

• Annual bonus scheme, with an excellent track record of over achievement.
• Comprehensive Healthcare Support – Access to a Medicash Health Cash Plan or Private Healthcare, including a Digital GP service, Best Doctors (Second Medical Opinion Service), and specialist Cancer Care for peace of mind when you need it most.
• KP Pension Plan - contribution matching up to 7% of your salary
• KP4ME - online benefits, discounts, prizes, competitions and information platform with access to mental, physical and financial wellbeing information and tools

What will you be doing?

• Own and deliver the customer sell plan, ensuring seamless execution of joint business plans (JBPs) and successful landing of new product development (NPD) across the Nuts, Singles, Popcorn & Own Label categories.
• Take on the exciting challenge of leading our online growth agenda, transforming it into a key strategic pillar for the account.
• Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams, including Category, Shopper, and Finance, to bring commercial strategies to life and achieve shared KPIs.
• Drive measurable impact by managing joint P&L responsibilities and tracking period-on-period performance to optimise decision-making and growth.
• Build your commercial acumen and customer understanding through day-to-day account management, forecasting, and exposure to strategic projects like our Christmas plan and sustainability initiatives.

Who are we?

Glad you asked! We're KP Snacks, proud to be part of the Intersnack family. Picture this: over 15,000 of us, spread across more than 30 countries, all working together to create the snacks you love. From Hula Hoops to McCoy's, we're the team behind your favourite munchies.

Here in the UK, we're about 2,400 strong, spread across seven factories and our Slough HQ. But don't let our size fool you – we're as close-knit as they come. We believe in speaking our minds, celebrating our differences, and pushing boundaries together.

Diversity isn't just a buzzword for us. We're on a mission to create a workplace where everyone belongs. So, even if you don't tick every box, we want to hear from you! Your unique perspective could be just what we need. Also, if there's anything we can do to make this process easier for you, just give us a shout.

We’d love to hear from you if you can demonstrate the following knowledge, skills and experience:

• You’ll bring strong commercial awareness and a curious, solutions-focused mindset, ideally supported by a degree or equivalent experience.
• Your excellent communication, organisation, and presentation skills will help drive collaboration and contribute to team success, while keeping the customer at the heart of what you do.
• Experience in FMCG sales or a similarly fast-paced, commercially driven environment will serve you well, especially if you've demonstrated entrepreneurial thinking and ownership.
• If you’re confident using tools like Excel, PowerPoint, Nielsen or Kantar, that’s a real bonus—but we’re happy to support your development in these areas.
• Most importantly, you’ll be someone who reflects our KP values—acting with integrity, taking ownership, and working together to deliver better for our people and our planet.
