As a Commercial Executive, you'll support the delivery of key commercial initiatives, helping to drive performance across our product portfolio while working closely with teams across Sales, Marketing, Finance, Category, Supply Chain and Operations. You'll gain valuable insight into how a major FMCG business operates and play a key role in supporting decision\-making through data, analysis and stakeholder collaboration.

Key responsibilities include:

• Supporting the management and reporting of commercial plans, ensuring key activities and projects remain on track


• Analysing sales, performance and market data to identify trends, opportunities and areas for improvement


• Producing reports, presentations and insights to support commercial decision\-making


• Coordinating cross\-functional meetings and ensuring actions are tracked and delivered


• Supporting product launches and commercial projects from planning through to execution

What We're Looking For

We're looking for an ambitious, commercially minded individual who is eager to develop their career within a fast\-paced and successful FMCG business.

This role would suit a recent graduate with a Business, Economics, Marketing, Finance or related degree, or someone with early commercial experience looking to take the next step in their career.

You'll ideally have:

Most importantly, you'll be motivated, driven and excited by the opportunity to build a successful career in a leading consumer goods organisation.
