Customer Executive - Sainsburys

Reporting into our Senior NAM (and Customer Controller) this Customer Exec role is a fantastic opportunity for a driven and ambitious individual. You will receive guidance and encouragement and be given the autonomy to grow the Hain Daniels brands and own label as we continue to retain and grow within the number of categories we supply.

The role is focussed on assisting the Senior NAM with managing the day-to-day trading of existing customers including delivering CPI's, negotiating annual terms, agreeing promotions, building relationships, forecasting, project management, tender preparations and offering the best service for Sainsbury's.

This role will have some P&L responsibility for smaller categories.

As customers are changing, so are we: focusing on fixing the basics, what good looks like and really understanding our customers' needs and strategies. You will have a wealth of category data and be supported by our Category team, NPD, Marketing, Demand planners, Commercial Finance and Supply chain.

This is a high-profile role that requires cross-functional commercial and project management across our Grocery, Chilled, Frozen and Hot Eat Desserts divisions.

The successful candidate must have commercial experience, enjoy working at pace, be able to build strong relationships both internally and externally and good general account management skills, with an emphasis on trading negotiation & commercial planning.

It is a requirement that the jobholder and all reports are compliant with Competition Law at all times
