SHS Drinks, the brand owner of WKD, is part of the £370m SHS Group – a privately owned FMCG holding company providing a strong financial base and central resources for four divisions..
The company’s biggest brand, WKD, is not only quirky and fun; it’s also the UK’s number one Ready-to-Drink brand in both the on and off-trade markets. Bottlegreen and Shloer are the company’s key brands in the soft drinks category.
The company are now looking to expand their growing presence in the soft drinks sector with the appointment of a Brand Development Executive in the Central & East London Region. Candidates should already live within the Greater London/inner M25 area or be prepared to relocate and must possess a valid UK driving licence.
The BDE will be responsible for a portfolio of accounts including on-trade customers, four and five star hotels, restaurants, quality cafés, delicatessens, and major tourist attraction and entertainment venues. The main focus will be on driving the soft drinks brand portfolio including Bottlegreen and Pago drinks but will also include other brands in relevant outlets.
Your key responsibility will be on driving distribution and sales across the range through the activation of brand visibility and brand support initiatives at the point of purchase.
We are seeking graduate calibre individuals ideally with some previous FMCG experience at Brand Ambassador, junior Account Exec. or Territory Manager level and now looking for a role with real responsibility that will test your influencing skills from day one. Alternatively, you could be a recent graduate with some relevant commercial experience gained from an industrial placement or internship. Either way we would like to hear from you. You will be naturally confident with an engaging personality and comfortable with building relationships from scratch.
