About the Role


This is a senior influential role in our commercial team, reporting to the Commercial Director and managing two of Refresco UK's largest grocer accounts.

About You


Ultimately, we want you to demonstrate our core values of agility, responsibility, passion, excellence, and entrepreneurship, acting as a role model to your direct team and all Refresco colleagues.

You are an excellent communicator, including via presentations, and will be adept at influencing and negotiating both internally within Refresco and externally with your customers.
