The successful candidate will be a self-starter, able to work from their own initiative and organise their workload with minimal supervision. As is typical with an SME, the ability to work accurately and at pace in an ever-changing environment is crucial. The team are collaborative, supportive and united in their goal to shape the future of the business. The successful candidate will be / have:

  • Significant experience of the UK Grocery market, having already operated in a NAM role (or equivalent) for a top 4 grocer
  • Branded FMCG experience is a must
  • SSL experience preferable
  • Data savvy with strong commercial acumen
  • Category management and data interpretation skills
