You will have the opportunity to work across some fantastic categories and on some of the world’s most loved brands. Customer Management (Sales) ensures that our brands are available wherever the shopper wishes to buy them. Managing relationships with key retailers with skill and sensitivity makes all the difference. Our customers recognise the effectiveness with which our work drives our business and theirs.

What will I be doing?
You’ll build partnerships with our wide range of customers – supermarkets, superstores, convenience stores, drug stores, discounters, online retailers, ice cream parlours and even theme parks – so that we reach our target markets. That could mean:
* Working together to maximise a new product launch

* Developing marketing programmes
* Negotiating an annual business plan
* Looking for new business opportunities.
Our Customer Insight and Innovation Centre allows us to work with our customers in exciting new ways. Our people have the opportunity to make a big impact every day on a local level, across Europe and the globe.

What will the programme involve?
The programme will start on 1st September 2015 and is designed to grow you into a manager within 3 years, through hands-on learning alongside world-class experts. You’ll develop your individual leadership skills by working on live projects which offer you all the experience you need to become ready for your first management role. Over three placements we’ll make sure you gain broad experience in several different areas to develop your commercial expertise, for example:
* Customer Management (Sales), where you will build relationships, analyse relevant data, own financial forecasting, agree a tailored business plan, or negotiate promotions.
* Category Management, where you will oversee a category of products, become an expert on the marketplace and our competitors, and advise customers on suitable ranges for their shoppers.
