• Representing our company to brand partners in a professional and passionate way.

• Ensuring brand updates are shared effectively across the business.

• Evaluating the effectiveness of trade plan activity.

The Ideal Candidate:

• Will be able to maintain a strong working relationship with suppliers.

• Will be confident driving commercial opportunities.

• Will have strong organisational skills and be able to prioritise effectively.

• Will enjoy working as part of a team but also be able to work independently with minimal supervision.
