  • Strong relationship-building skills with both internal stakeholders and retail partners

  • Highly numerate with confidence using sales data, customer portals and insight tools

  • A hands-on, collaborative approach with a willingness to get involved across a small team

  • A genuine interest in health, wellness and purpose-led brands

Key responsibilities of the role will include:

  • Full ownership of a key Top 4 grocery account, including P&L and JBP management

  • Developing and maintaining strong, long-term customer relationships across retail partners

  • Driving commercial performance through weekly analysis of sales data, forecasting and performance tracking

  • Identifying and unlocking new business opportunities across both existing and new retail channels

  • Working closely with marketing and trade marketing to deliver compelling, insight-led customer plans

  • Supporting the development and execution of commercial strategy alongside the Founders and Commercial Director

  • Leading on ad hoc commercial projects in a fast-paced, evolving SME environment
