Today, Cereal Partners Worldwide is the number two breakfast cereal producer worldwide, with a strong portfolio of over 50 brands – including Shredded Wheat, Cheerios®, Shreddies and Nesquik® – with sales in over 150 countries. Today, our aim is simple: to provide high quality, nutritious and great tasting breakfast cereals. We are on a mission to create a nation of Cereal Lovers!

Headquartered in Lausanne, Switzerland, Cereal Partners Worldwide has 17 factories and employs around 4500 people all over the world.

Our Opportunity

We have an exciting and challenging Business Manager position, working within the Wholesale & Convenience Team. Working with the day-to-day management of Wholesale portfolio accounts, the role also covers the development of a collaborative business plan with your customers. The construction and negotiation of commercial terms, the creation & delivery of new business proposals and/or renegotiation of existing contracts will be part of your role.

As Wholesale & Convenience Business Manager you will control expenditure and the implementation of an effective promotional plan, have profit & loss (P&L) accountability, manage the introduction of New Product Development (NPD) and play a key role in the Jointly Agreed Growth plan. It will be your responsibility to maximise return on investment through all customer linked expenditure and you will liaise closely with category team to ensure a joint category business plan.

This Wholesale & Convenience Business Manager role has a high level of autonomy and is a good lead into more senior positions. You’ll be tasked with identifying opportunities and recommending actions to enhance margin and to grow the volume of both Nestlé branded and own label cereals within wholesale.

We want to hear from you if you’re already using your outstanding skills as a Regional, Business Manager or Key Account Manager in your current role, or perhaps you feel ready to step up a level.

You will be a high performer and able to demonstrate your success in a commercial role. You must enjoy a challenge and working as part of a cross functional team. You’ll be able to work under pressure and have a positive “can do” attitude.

Finally, you’ll be a good strategic thinker with strong commercial awareness and excellent numeracy skills and used to a high level of autonomy and able to network to achieve results.
