Commercial Project Manager

• Collaborate cross-functionally on digital tools and retailer-facing initiatives

• Proven project management experience across cross-functional teams
• Excellent communication and influencing skills, comfortable engaging at senior level
• Highly organised, proactive, and comfortable leading from the front
• Experience in FMCG or high-growth consumer sectors preferred
