This is what you’ll actually do!
As Business Account Manager, you’ll take full ownership of the commercial performance and day-to-day relationship with one of the UK’s top grocery retailers. You’ll be the key point of contact, building strong relationships, understanding customer priorities, and ensuring our plans, proposals, and product developments align with their long-term strategy. You’ll lead the full commercial planning process—managing the P&L, forecasting, negotiating pricing and promotions, and tracking ongoing performance. Alongside this, you’ll oversee a range of product development projects, working closely with NPD, Technical, Marketing, Finance, and site teams to ensure launches land on time and meet both commercial and customer expectations. A big part of your role will be identifying and driving growth opportunities, whether through expanding existing ranges, introducing new formats, or improving promotional and forecast accuracy. When challenges arise, you’ll act as the escalation point, resolving issues quickly and maintaining excellent service.
