The Role:

This is a fantastic opportunity for a graduate who enjoys working with data, collaborating across teams, and getting hands-on experience in how products move from concept to shelf.

In this role, you’ll take ownership of the day-to-day administration of key accounts while developing a strong understanding of products, contracts, stock management, and supply chains. As you grow in the role, you’ll become a trusted source of insight and support for the wider commercial team.

What you’ll be doing:

• Producing and analysing weekly sales reports
• Monitoring contract balances and stock levels
• Working closely with Procurement, Supply Chain and Operations to ensure product availability and lead times
• Supporting the project management of new product launches
• Visiting retailer stores to conduct audits and gather market insights
• Tracking category trends and reporting on market developments
• Assisting the sales team in preparing commercial presentations

What we offer:

• Hands-on experience in a dynamic FMCG environment
• Exposure to multiple areas of the business
• Flexible working with the option to work from home on Fridays after probation
• Clear development opportunities and career progression

While the initial plan is for the successful candidate to develop in this role over 18–24 months, the employer is committed to internal progression. Recent graduates in this position have gone on to move into roles in Data Insights and Account Management, making this an excellent stepping stone for a long-term career in FMCG.
