When it comes to developing category leading food brands and being recognized for leading innovation then they don’t come much bigger than this food manufacturer. With their continued investment into their brands and people it’s no wonder they are held in such high regard by their competitors and customers.

Clearly, this food group is not small. In fact, they boast some of the most powerful brands in the food industry. With compelling growth plans, they are now looking to strengthen an already first-class commercial team.

You will continually review & develop leading their Discounter’s customer strategy. The nature of the accounts means that their strategic importance to our client is huge. Should the successful applicant succeed in growing this already £multi-million relationship, the door for fast progression within this large brand owner will definitely be open.

You will:

  • Take a strategic role with significant P&L responsibility driving the long-term strategy across their category
  • Build mutually agreed and beneficial Joint Business Plans with Discounter customer’s
  • Build a strong customer partnership and implement a full category strategy
  • To manage sales investment expenditure to budget, and to shape and challenge promotional plans
  • Deliver sales, trade spend and profit targets 

To succeed in the role you will have:

  • Exceptional branded commercial awareness coupled with a proven track record gained within a progressive fmcg environment
  • Be able to demonstrate success in FMCG sales (ideally in the Discounter channel but not essential)
  • Demonstrated impressive business achievements through consumer insight and bringing energy & motivation to your role
  • Strong relationship-building skills, and are ready to make an impact on strategy and category plans from day one.
