  • Strong influencer and communicator
  • Strong presentation skills
  • FMCG account management and development experience – preferably working with private label products
  • Broad vision and creativity to get onto everyone’s plate!

This is not one of the usual suspects and not your ordinary opportunity.  Ordinary won’t work here – enthusiasm, ambition and high energy does!  If this sounds like an opportunity you’d like to explore, please don’t hesitate in applying or getting in touch for a confidential conversation.
