• Support Account Managers without just being their PA
• Own the day-to-day detail forecasts, promotions, new line forms
• Pull apart data, not just input it
• Build relationships with buyers, supply chain teams, and the people who matter
• Make sure launches and promos work in the real world, not just on a spreadsheet

• Organised, proactive, commercially switched-on
• Some experience in sales support, commercial, or account exec roles ideally in Food Manufacturing/FMCG
