  • Shape pricing, promotions, and joint business plans
  • Analyse sales data to forecast, plan, and spot opportunities
  • Maintain detailed journey plans and territory action plans
  • Partner with internal teams across supply chain, customer service, transport, and national accounts
  • Ensure cash collections and trading terms are met
  • Represent the business at events, customer meetings, and trade shows

About You

You re proactive, commercially sharp, and genuinely motivated by growth. You thrive in front of customers, love being out in the field, and you re comfortable owning a region with autonomy.

You ll likely bring:

  • A proven track record of developing and winning business
  • Strong communication and negotiation skills
  • Confidence working with data, numbers, and commercial plans
