Commercial Manager – Retail

£45,000 - £60,000 + Car Allowance and Benefits

Office Based – Midlands (flexible)

An exciting opportunity for a Commercial Manager has developed with a market leading, global manufacture of meat based products. As part of a larger group the current turnover is £6.5bn and they employ 98,000 employees on a global basis with presence in 20 different countries. Their extensive product range includes both branded and private label ready meals and meat products. As a market leader within their category they have a very strong presence within the Retail, Foodservice and Food Manufacturer channels.  They are currently the number one shrimp provider in the world, and the 2nd largest poultry provider on a global scale. Due to an internal move within the business, this position has come around to grow and develop their retail business.

As Commercial Manager, you will be responsible for growing and developing business within existing retail accounts, with the main focus being on the Aldi business. You will be reporting into the Business Unit Head and will be working alongside the Senior Commercial Manager in the generation of profitable sales growth. You will be expected to monitor and evaluate P&L within the retail business and ensure scorecard in maintained.  Your tasks will include management of forecast and overall accountability for the stock, understanding customer requirements, day to day management of the set customer base and maintaining systems for pricing and promotions including the updating cots of matrixes. You will also be expected to travel to Thailand twice a year to visit the head office.

To be considered for this role you must have good commercial understanding of how a business should operate profitably. Advanced sales and negation proficiency with good interpersonal skill is a must. Food experience is a must with all food categories being relevant and you must have experience managing any of the Top 6 retail accounts. This is an office based position in the Midlands but home working 1 day a week is a possibility.  Having both own label and branded experience is desirable but either would be considered.
