Mars is a dynamic, family-owned company with worldwide annual sales of over £24billion. Since 1932 Mars has been producing iconic brands in the UK, including Pedigree, Whiskas, Sheba and Cesar, as well as Galaxy, Wrigleys, Uncle Ben’s, Dolmio and Flavia. 

Due to an internal move, we are looking for a Regional Customer Executive in our Petcare segment, reporting to the UK Field Sales Manager. It’ll be your responsibility to ensure optimum distribution, execution of promotional activity, display and sales opportunities are realised within your region. That means:
•    using your skills and undoubted energy to develop strong relationships within your retailer contacts and trade customers, who will span both Convenience and Specialist Pet Trade 
•    implementing a set of clear field objectives aligned to our channel strategy 

Experience in a customer-facing sales role would be great. But actually, because we’re a lively, energetic team, the right attitude and behaviours are more important to us! So we’re looking for people who can slot easily into this culture but who can also bring:
•    business and financial acumen
•    an unquenchable drive for results
•    real strength in time management and priority-setting
•    great interpersonal and relationship-building skills
•    the ability to negotiate
•    passion for self-development and the drive to build a career within Mars

A degree would help, along with proficiency in MS Office. You will also need a full driving licence and be mobile within your region. The territory covers the South West of England and South Wales therefore you will ideally live within a 30 mile radius of Bristol. 

A career experience at Mars is unlike any other. We'll listen to your ideas, encourage you to be inquisitive and give you the responsibility for your own progress. We also have a fantastic induction and training scheme for new starters to make sure you get all the support you need. 

Closing date for Regional Customer Executive applications is Sunday 27th July 2014.
