Job Details
We have an opportunity for an experienced Commercial Controller to join a large fresh food business who have some very long standing relationships with key food retailers in the UK. The focus required on each account is changing and they are now looking to bring in a Controller to add more weight to the management of one of their core retail customers. There is a big opportunity to grow this account as the share is currently split across a number of categories, so with the right oversight, there are plenty of gains to go after.
The Job:
You will have an experienced team of Account Managers beneath you, who will ensure that the day-to-day management is covered. This will allow you to work closely with the Commercial Director to agree the specific account focused strategy and to then role this out and ensure buy in from the rest of the business. The retailer is going through a period of significant change which brings its own challenges, but the early adapters will definitely lead the field.
The Candidate:
Experience of working within a senior commercial role within fresh food is essential. Retail experience is as important to them as well as a proven track record of growing the accounts you have worked with. You will have effectively managed a team of account and commercial managers previously and understand the ins and outs of a large office environment.
