Are you a highly organised, detail-driven administrator looking for your next opportunity within a fast-paced, commercially focused sales environment? This is a fantastic fixed-term role for someone who thrives on keeping things running smoothly behind the scenes and wants genuine exposure to a dynamic sales team.
The Role
Reporting to an Head of Department, you'll provide vital administrative support to a busy sales team managing a major retail account. You'll sit at the heart of the commercial operation — keeping data accurate, processes on track, and the wider team firing on all cylinders.
This is a role where no two days are quite the same, and your contribution will have a direct impact on sales performance and commercial outcomes.

* Managing and updating promotional plans within planning tools to optimise forecast accuracy
* Validating invoices and price claims ahead of sign-off with account leads
* Completing new line forms and price change documentation as required
* Coordinating sample requests and outer case information when launching new lines
* Supporting the Marketing with purchase orders, new line set-up, and in-store activation administration
* Supporting the Category Insights team with collating key customer data for analysis
* Helping to organise customer brand days - venue liaison, samples, marketing materials
* Carrying out monthly store visits
* Providing flexible, wider support to the direct-to-retail sales team as needed
What We're Looking For
Essential:
* Strong attention to detail
* Proficient in Microsoft Excel and PowerPoint
* Excellent organisational and time management skills
* A customer-focused mindset with confident communication skills
Advantageous:
* Some experience or understanding of sales forecasting
* Previous experience in an FMCG, retail, or commercial sales environment
Why Apply?
This is a brilliant opportunity to build or develop your commercial career within a well-established, brand-led business. You'll gain exposure to retail account management, commercial finance, supply chain, and marketing - all from a central, collaborative role. The hybrid working pattern offers genuine flexibility, and on offer is a salary of 30-32k as well as good benefits, and possible extension of contract.
