Background

This is a brilliant business to be part of. Shaping the wider category, they are growing at an unprecedented rate, both in the UK and internationally.

Working closely with the Commercial Director and Business Unit Head, you will take ownership of some of the Top 4 Grocery Accounts. This role is not just about managing relationships – it is about driving growth! Opportunities for their products are everywhere, and your curiosity and tenacity to make things happen will stand out.

However, it is not enough to just make things happen. You will excel at setting robust and innovative strategies and be relentless in delivering against them.

You will receive support from teams such as Brand, Insight, and Category Data, along with developing compelling Shopper Campaigns – the team works together to succeed.

Opportunity

The last few years have seen phenomenal growth for this on-trend, healthy food business. With turnover increasing more than four-fold, the trajectory shows no signs of slowing down.

This success is driven by increased distribution, award-winning new products, changing consumer behavior, and a strong commercial team.

We are seeking talented, well-trained, and ambitious individuals who want to make an impact and grow with us.

About You

You should understand the landscape well, be innovative, and passionate about turning ideas into reality. A balance between being a team player and a pioneer is essential.

You must be an excellent relationship builder and networker, always keeping the end goals in mind. Combining a structured, process-driven approach with entrepreneurial flair is key.

Experience in a high-growth environment is advantageous. If you are currently working for a large UK FMCG company and feel there is more to explore, we want to hear from you. It's time to make your training count!

It is also crucial that you have experience working with accounts within the Grocery Retail Estate, such as Tesco, Morrisons, Asda, Sainsbury's, Waitrose, M&S, etc. Without this experience, it will be challenging to make an impact in this role.
