Job description

What can I expect?

Fresh produce is where the fun really happens, right? It's quick, seasonal and always changing. But if you enjoy variety, solving problems on the fly and working with some of the UK's biggest supermarket brands, this role could be a great fit.

You'll be managing major retail accounts, making commercial decisions that directly impact the bottom line and working with teams across the business to keep everything running smoothly - even when the pressure's on.

About the role

You'll take ownership of key Top 4 retail accounts, making sure the relationship is productive, profitable and long-lasting.

That includes:

- Negotiating pricing, promotions, and supply plans.

- Building strong customer relationships based on trust and delivery.

- Working closely with operations, supply chain, and technical teams to meet customer expectations.

- Keeping an eye on the market and spotting opportunities for growth or improvement.

- Supporting NPD and category development.

It's a role for someone who's happy to get stuck in, make decisions quickly and balance customer needs with commercial priorities.

About the business

This is a well-established fresh produce supplier with an excellent reputation for quality and service. They have strong relationships with the major retailers they supply into and are committed to innovation and sustainability.

You'll be joining a team that's proud of what they do, values collaboration, and gives their people the autonomy to make an impact.

If you know your way around the fresh produce sector, have experience with Top 4 retailers and are looking for a role where no two days are the same - this could be the move you've been looking for.
