Overview

Business Development Manager
Slough (HQ)

We operate a dynamic working model built on trust, choice and balance.

We also offer Dynamic Friday Hours, giving colleagues the opportunity to flex their time and finish early on a Friday, where the role allows.

As Business Development Manager, you’ll play a key role in driving growth across our grocery channel, with a focus on Nuts, Food to Go and online. You’ll work closely with cross-functional teams to deliver KP’s commercial plans, leading sell-in conversations, landing new product launches and supporting joint business planning.

This is a fast-paced, hands-on role where you’ll take ownership of forecasting, reporting and performance tracking. You’ll also support the wider business unit, stepping in when needed to ensure we deliver our full-year objectives.

You’ll be the go-to for online (an exciting area of growth) working with customer teams to unlock new opportunities. You’ll also champion our ‘People & Planet’ agenda, helping to deliver joint sustainability campaigns and initiatives.

We’re looking for someone with FMCG sales experience, strong commercial acumen and a collaborative mindset. If you’re confident presenting, comfortable using data to drive decisions and ready to make a real impact, this could be the role for you.

What’s in it for you?

We believe in rewarding our colleagues and helping them thrive. Here’s a flavour of what we offer:

• Annual bonus scheme, with a strong track record of overachievement
• Comprehensive healthcare support – including Medicash Health Cash Plan or Private Healthcare, Digital GP, Best Doctors second opinion service and specialist cancer care
• KP Pension Plan – contribution matching up to 7% of your salary
• 25 days holiday, plus the option to buy more
• KP4ME – our online platform for benefits, discounts, wellbeing tools and more

What will you be doing?

• Deliver commercial plans across Nuts, Food to Go and online, including sell-in, NPD and joint business planning
• Own forecasting and reporting, ensuring accuracy and visibility of performance
• Support the wider business unit to achieve full-year objectives, stepping in when needed
• Lead online growth initiatives and build strong relationships with customer teams
• Champion our sustainability agenda through joint campaigns and internal collaboration

We’re proud of our close-knit culture, where we speak up, celebrate differences and push boundaries together.

We’re committed to inclusion

We’re building a workplace where everyone belongs. If you don’t tick every box, we’d still love to hear from you – your unique perspective could be just what we need. And if there’s anything we can do to make the process easier for you, just let us know.

We’d love to hear from you if you can bring:

• FMCG sales experience, ideally within grocery and fast-paced categories like impulse or Food to Go
• Strong commercial acumen and confidence presenting compelling sales plans
• Collaborative and customer-focused, with excellent communication skills
• Comfortable using data and insight to shape decisions and drive performance
