Who They Are
Our client is a rapidly growing branded food manufacturer with a strong presence across UK retail. Their products combine convenience, nutrition and great taste, with a clear focus on plant-based innovation and responsible business practices.
With ambitious growth plans, B Corp values and an entrepreneurial culture, they offer the chance to join a business where good ideas are noticed, contributions matter, and success is shared across the team.
Build something rather than simply manage it.
This is an opportunity to take ownership of major retail accounts within a fast-growing chilled food business that is winning market share in one of the most dynamic areas of FMCG.
You’ll have real influence over commercial strategy, direct responsibility for P&L performance and the freedom to identify and secure new opportunities across grocery, discount and impulse channels.
For someone who enjoys opening doors, shaping customer plans and seeing the direct impact of their work, there is plenty of room to make your mark and develop into a more senior commercial leadership position.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Growing existing retail accounts whilst identifying and securing new listings, categories and channels.
- Owning customer P&Ls, forecasts, promotional plans and commercial performance.
- Using category insight and consumer data to build compelling customer growth plans.
- Working closely with marketing, category, finance and operations to deliver successful launches and excellent execution.
What You’ll Need to Bring
- Proven experience managing FMCG retail accounts, ideally within food or chilled categories.
- A track record of winning new business as well as growing established customer relationships.
- Strong commercial acumen with confidence managing negotiations, investment and profitability.
- Resilience, energy and the ability to operate effectively in a fast-paced growth environment.
