Commercial Management Opportunities

Nikon is a world-leading imaging brand, recognised for its commitment to quality, technology and innovation. Having established market leadership across Europe, the company has undertaken a highly successful transformation programme in the UK to raise brand awareness and grow market share. Following recent appointments to the UK leadership team, Nikon is now looking to build a talent pipeline by recruiting a number of high calibre National Account Managers and Product Managers who have the potential to develop further within the business.

 

The Role

Manage the sales and profitability of major accounts and influence category and channel strategies for the wider UK market:

  • Drive Nikon brand awareness within the account
  • Work across the business to influence channel and category strategies

Successful candidates, with the equivalent of at least a 2ii from a top UK university, will have started their careers as graduate trainees, and can demonstrate a track record of drive and achievement within sales or as a category manager. They will have strong people skills, the ability to negotiate using persuasion and influence, commercial acumen, numeracy and solid analytical skills. Along with excellent communication and presentation skills, they will exude high energy and passion to win.

Experience Preferred:

Bright, articulate graduate, 2-5 years into their career, with a degree from a top 40 university at 2i or above.
