  • Increasing on-shelf availability and executing best-in-class brand presence at the fixture.
  • Delivering additional distribution opportunities beyond standard planograms to accelerate growth of the Convenience Core range.

Requirements

  • Strong commercial awareness with the ability to analyse data and identify growth opportunities.
  • Experience developing customer plans, trade promotions and commercial proposals.
  • Excellent stakeholder management and relationship-building capabilities.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
