Commercial Manager - Plants

Permanent | Full-time | 40 hours per week, Monday to Friday

Salary: Competitive, dependent on experience

Are you a commercially minded account manager with a passion for plants?

MM Flowers is looking for a Commercial Manager to grow key retail accounts within our Plants division. You’ll build customer relationships, identify opportunities for growth and work with teams across the business to develop plant ranges that perform in store.

You don’t need to be a plants expert. We’re keen to hear from people with strong commercial experience in FMCG, retail or another fast-paced consumer business who are excited to learn the category.

What you’ll do

• Own the commercial performance of key retail accounts, including sales, margin and forecasts
• Build relationships with customer buying, product development, technical and supply chain teams
• Identify growth opportunities through customer, shopper and market insight
• Lead customer meetings, presentations and range reviews
• Work with NPD and internal teams to develop and launch new plant ranges
• Support pricing negotiations and plan for key seasonal events

What you’ll bring

• Commercial, account management or customer-facing experience
• A strong understanding of sales, margin and profitability
• Confidence working with customers and presenting ideas
• Analytical skills and experience using sales and forecast data
• The ability to manage competing priorities in a fast-moving environment
• A genuine interest in plants and horticulture

Experience with major UK retailers, NPD or seasonal categories would be an advantage. Plants experience is welcome, but it isn’t essential.

This is a chance to combine your commercial expertise with a creative, evolving category and see the products you help develop reach stores.
