You’ll be joining a high-growth challenger food brand at a really exciting stage, helping to scale its presence across UK grocery retail. Known for its premium, great-tasting products and bold branding, the business is building strong momentum with both customers and consumers. This is a role where you’ll get real exposure to major retailers and see the direct impact of your work on shelf, along with a clear pathway to a NAM role and beyond.

You’ll also build relationships with customers, support new business opportunities, and work closely with marketing, supply chain, and finance.

• Supporting execution of the grocery trade plan across key accounts
• Managing forecasts and driving strong availability
• Analysing sales data and identifying actions
• Supporting and reviewing promotions
• Building relationships with customers and internal teams

What you’ll bring:

• Strong Excel skills and confidence analysing data
• Understanding of retail cycles, promotions, and forecasting
• Good organisation and attention to detail
• A proactive, high-energy mindset

The company is a fast-growing challenger brand, shaking up its category with high-quality, flavour-led products that stand out on shelf. Already listed in major UK retailers and expanding quickly, they combine big brand ambition with start-up pace.
