As a leading Chilled Food Player, our client has an impressive track record of growth and an exceptionally bright future. The strategic goal is to succeed in the “elusive tightrope” of driving growth within their core offering whilst developing Pioneering New products that will see their market share increase considerably.

In order to achieve this they commit strong levels of investment into both NPD & Leading Edge Commercial & Category solutions. However, alongside Product/Food Development, their “key” differentiator is their Customer Leadership Team; and this is where you could make the difference.

You will also gain exposure to Strategically Led Category Initiatives; gaining a vast insight into the Commercialisation of leading O/L Chilled NPD Programs by operating as a key linchpin within a Matrix Led Business Unit. Of course you will be tasked with analysing data and identifying/driving insights that will form the foundation of futures business Win/Win's for You, Your Customer and the all important End Consumer.

Finally you will also be given the challenge of contributing to an all encompassing 2014/15 “Customer Excellence” strategy that they have undertaken to deliver over the 2-3 years.

  • Involved in developing the strategy for category growth, and by customer, identifying key actions, and developing and delivering the category plan.
  • To work closely with Product Managers to develop Category plans, and with the Sales Team to maximise the performance of the core range within the retailer to ensure maximum distribution and delivery of the Category plans.
