Job Details



Blue-chip FMCG business seeks a talented FMCG NAM or MS&P Manager keen to broaden their experience within the ecommerce space. In a key strategic role for the team, this role would take ownership over Grocery Online accounts, helping to continue the rapid growth and learning & development going on within the space.

With regular board-level contact, the opportunity in the near future to manage direct reports and work on a pan European level, this is a great chance to get your teeth stuck in to an ecommerce role in a business that appreciates the value of the channel, and has invested accordingly.

Some key accountabilities and attributes required:
  • Strong commercial experience, with an added working understanding of category and shopper principles
  • Proven track record of compiling and executing winning Joint Business Plans - ideally in ecommerce but this could be from a bricks and mortar environment
  • Strategic thinking - the ability to step away from the day to day and think about the macro picture
  • Shopper empathy - in a category driven by shopper loyalty and engagement, it's crucial to be able to put yourself in their shoes
  • Brand passion - to know how shoppers feel, you need to buy in to the product and brand mission


It's a great time to be joining a business who have invested significantly in their ecommerce and digital expertise in 2015.
