The opportunity
As global food manufacturer, McCain works hard to continually build successful partnerships with the foodservice industry. In the UK, we’re best known for potato products, but worldwide we offer hundreds of other products, including appetizers, pizza, vegetables, beverages, ready meals and desserts.
You'll play a key role in developing our business by building professional trading relationships with major foodservice wholesalers, distributors and major end users. That means using your product and culinary knowledge to provide innovative food solutions to catering professionals. You will build McCain’s market share within hospitality, healthcare and education sectors.
It's a chance to hone a wide range of sales and customer management skills, from building brand awareness through effective networking, to working with customers to develop shared action plans. We'll set targets so you'll need to drive demand from prospective end users, as well as work with key distributor contacts.
The person
Well-developed negotiation, presentation and influencing skills are essential in this role, so you're likely to come to us with some front-line sales experience, preferably in the FMCG industry. You'll also need strong networking and communication skills. On top of that, we'll expect you to be good at organising your own time, and able to use and interpret a wide range of data, including financial data.
