About The Business:

Globally recognised Pharmaceutical business focused on pioneering the way Health & Beauty category, boasting multi billion-pound turnover and huge profitability. Not only are they cash rich but they invest heavily in innovation across all areas of their enviable portfolio backing it up with bold marketing campaigns in line with their ambitious growth strategy.

This may be a pharma business, but they are owned by one of the world’s largest & best recognised consumer brands. This has really smartened and sharpened the way they operate – so we’re looking for consumer experts rather than pharma, who specialise in account management growth and want to work in an SME type environment.

Culturally these guys are far from normal in terms of the way they operate. Although owned by a BlueChip they are passionate about flexible working, have no hierarchy and boast a fluid and flexible style.

They need likeminded people who can deal at speed with the sole focus on providing absolute best quality for their consumers and customers - which is something we need you to be passionate about as well. Making informed but quick decisions to maximise growth potential is high on their priority list. If this is a frustration for you in your current role then without doubt this is something you must have a look at!

This is a truly autonomous, fantastic opportunity to cut your teeth in a world class business. The progression plans here are unlimited with a route across functions and into the wider business units within the large blue chip’s backers if so desired.

This is management of large grocery and high street customers focusing on the likes of Boots and Superdrug as their largest accounts amongst others.

 

About You:

We are looking for a high calibre, ambitious, consumer goods professional and whilst previous experience in the OTC pharmaceutical market is beneficial it is certainly not a pre-requisite.
