The journey is only just getting started.
They're now looking for an ambitious Junior National Account Manager to join the commercial team.
This isn't your typical JNAM role.

The Opportunity
You’ll own the day-to-day commercial relationship with Ocado and Co-op, managing everything from range reviews and promotional plans to pricing, forecasting and joint business planning.
Alongside this, you’ll work closely on Tesco, Sainsbury's and Waitrose, giving you exposure to some of the UK's largest grocery retailers while learning directly from an experienced commercial leader.
You’ll also play an active role in identifying new business opportunities and supporting the continued expansion of the brand across Foodservice and Export.
This is a genuine opportunity to build broad commercial experience far earlier than most FMCG businesses offer.
