Commercial Strategy Manager – Blue Chip Food Business
£Excellent basic salary + Car + Bonus + Benefits
Midlands
Company
Our client is one of the top 10 most chosen brands in the UK and market leader in their category. They have enjoyed huge success over recent years and boast a fantastic portfolio of products helping them grow from just under £500m to over £1.5bn in 4 years. This is a business that is constantly expanding their product offering through both innovation and the acquisition of other businesses and has a clear strategy to deliver substantial growth and market dominance. Unlike many blue chip companies, there is little bureaucracy as they are privately owned; therefore you can expect a fast paced environment where decisions are made quickly.
The Role:
As Commercial Strategy Manager you will take on a role which boasts significant responsibility and importance within our client’s structure meaning you will interact internally at a senior level. This is a leadership position, where you will be expected to deliver on the following 4 key areas:
- Lead communication between both the commercial and marketing functions
- Build the commercial strategy plan.
- For example lead the pack, pricing and promotional strategy.
- Secure business efficiencies
- For example provide industry leading forecasting and planning
- Executing excellence at the point of purchase.
- For example space, distribution and availability
Requirements:
To be considered for this position, you must have a background in working for a leading blue chip business. You may be a highly competent National Account Manager who is ready for a move into a SNAM position but looking to get exposed to a broader role. Alternatively you may be operating in a similar role currently such as MS&P, Revenue Growth Management or Commercial Planning.
Key Skills Required Include:
- Strategic thinking
- Long term planning
- Ability to influence at a senior level
- Analytical
- Leadership skills
- Financially literate
