  • Win new business across wholesalers, end-users and specialist retail customers
  • Own forecasting, promotional planning and P&L delivery across your accounts

  • Strong relationship builder with a hands-on, customer-facing approach
  • Commercially sharp and comfortable managing P&L, pricing and promotions
  • Foodie mindset would be a real advantage
  • Organised, resilient and able to work in a fast-moving team

This is a brilliant opportunity to work with a premium brand that has a clear point of difference and a lot of untapped opportunity outside traditional grocery.
