• Commercial Acumen: You hold a commercial qualification and possess a "flair" for the retail and foodservice sectors.
• Agile & Independent: You are a self-starter who can manage complex processes independently while remaining a flexible team player.
• Excellent Communicator: You have a clever, persuasive way of expressing yourself and building rapport with diverse business partners.
• Resilient: You thrive under pressure and are motivated by achieving measurable success and taking on responsibility. 

What We Offer
