Our client is a major iconic name in the FMCG sector with many high profile brands, growing sales, strong turnover/ profit and a track record of year on year growth that spans 10 years.

This new hybrid Account Development Manager role will suit an ambitious graduate with experience gained in a category or business analyst role.

  • Expertly analyse how factors like merchandising, store presence and positioning impacts on sales

This is an innovative new approach to Account Management and to succeed you must be a  self-starter, ambitious with a degree and strong can-do attitude. We’re seeking someone who is capable of demonstrating:

  • 3-5 years experience in FMCG, either logistics, business analysis or with a Top 4 Grocery retailer as a graduate
  • A passion for data analysis coupled with a creative approach to account management
  • Excellent communication and relationship building skills
  • Strong presentation and negotiating skills
