We provide consumers with a comprehensive range of products in four key mega-categories - fresh meat & sausage, bacon & gammon, cooked meat, and convenience & snacking. Our farm-to-fork operation is unique in the industry, while our strategic framework puts customers, product, efficiency and people at the heart of everything we do, all with a view to growing responsibly. As part of the Danish Crown Group, the largest pork provider in Europe and the biggest exporter of pork in the world, Tulip Ltd is well-placed to deliver its ambitious plans for sustainable growth. If you have an appetite for more, this could be the role for you.
 
We currently have a Commercial vacancy within our prestigious M&S Commercial Team. This exciting role requires a confident, approachable and extremely customer service focused individual with experience within an FMCG commercial environment.
 
You will be responsible for your account, creating and maintaining your sales budget. You will regularly meet with your buyer in person, providing regular updates, sharing future business opportunities identified and following these through to actual sales leading to business growth for both parties. Your ability to analyse and interpret market is essential and will support your discussions with the NPD and Category teams, seeking out opportunities to develop your customer range and base that will retain customer activity and support you with driving your categories forward. It is essential that you are an excellent communicator with experience maintaining customer relationships through regular reviews and daily contact.
 
In addition you will be highly motivated with strong numerical and organizational skills, with the ability to engage people at all levels across the organisation. Although based at your Customer Hub in Boston, Lincs, you will have a flexible approach, visiting other sites that produce your customer products where you will use your strong influencing skills to engage both your internal and external stakeholders, to resolve problems in which sales issues are involved and will be crucial to your success.
 
Equally, you will have excellent presentation skills including PowerPoint skills and pay great attention to detail. You will also be able to work consistently whilst under pressure, managing your diary effectively in a challenging environment. Your flexibility and significant travelling is required.
