Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.

No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.

This is a real opportunity to influence how we grow – building new ways of working, strengthening relationships, and driving commercial success.
You’ll work closely with our Senior and National Account Managers to grow and manage key customer relationships. It’s about much more than numbers, you’ll be driving our brands forward within foodservice channels, helping to ensure our products are seen, selected, and loved by more people, in more places.
Your day-to-day will involve everything from collaborating with Marketing and Category teams on channel strategies, to working across functions like R&D and Operations to bring brilliant products to life. You'll get stuck into forecasting, planning, and supporting high-impact campaigns – all while sharpening your commercial skillset in a fast-paced, supportive environment.

This is a role for someone who’s not afraid to roll up their sleeves, ask the right questions, and make things happen. You’ll be encouraged to learn, grow, and develop your own approach, with the backing of a team that truly believes in collaboration and progress.
