Trade Development Manager for Monster Energy
The Advocate Group is proud to be exclusively partnering with Monster Energy as the brand continues its next wave of explosive growth across the UK, hiring for a Trade Development Manager for the Humberside region.
As the Trade Development Manager, this is far more than a traditional “visit stores and take orders” role; it’s about making a real commercial impact.
You will take full ownership of your territory, building a strong Monster presence across the independent convenience channel. Your focus will be on driving distribution, increasing visibility, improving availability, securing additional space, and delivering impactful in-store activations.
This is a fast-paced, high-energy field-based role where resilience, accountability, and consistency are essential. You’ll see the direct impact of your work in-store every single day.
The Role
- Winning new independent retail accounts and expanding product distribution across your territory
- Increasing product facings, improving product mix, and maximising cold availability in-store
- Delivering standout in-store execution through impactful POS materials and secondary displays
- Bringing promotional activity to life to help drive sales and increase the rate of sale
- Building strong relationships with distributor partner sales teams, providing support and training where needed
- Providing real-time feedback and market insight to support wider business strategy
- Managing daily activity, reporting, and administration in line with company expectations and standards
