The Opportunity:
Nigel Wright Group is delighted to have been retained by a high-growth repeat client, that provides goods not for resale, to large corporate FMCG clients. This is an exciting opportunity to manage high profile clients in the Nordics. The role will be UK based and would suit someone based within easy access of Manchester, Leeds Bradford, Edinburgh or Heathrow Airports.
There will be regular travel to spend face-to-face time with key clients. The pattern would likely be travel Monday morning, come back Friday morning, 2 of 4 weeks some months, and occasionally 3 of 4 weeks some months. This is a rare opportunity to develop international commercial experience and would suit someone on the upward trajectory, perhaps circa 5 years into their commercial career.
