About Kerry
Welcome to Kerry Dairy Consumer Foods! We’re a powerhouse in the food industry, boasting over €370m in global sales.

This role is pivotal in helping us meet and exceed our customers' growth ambitions. If you’re bursting with energy and have a 'we can if...' mindset, this is the place for you!
Our commercial team is a fantastic environment for career development, especially as both our branded and private label businesses are thriving. While our head office is in Staines (with a hybrid working model), be prepared for some travel to customer offices and our sites across the UK.

* Travel to customer and Kerry sites across the UK.
Qualifications and Skills

* A degree-level qualification or equivalent (desirable).
* Strong experience managing and developing 'Mults' customers, especially in the branded space; own label experience is a plus.

* Willingness to travel to customers within the UK.
* High energy and a strong desire to drive growth.
* A proactive and ambitious approach to your work.
