Are you an ambitious and aspiring future Commercial Manager, recently graduated, and would like to build a career in the FMCG industry with the UK’s most chosen brand? Then our Commercial Graduate roles here at Warburtons will be great for you!
We’re proud of our heritage and we love our brand, we know you will too!
Working alongside our Commercial team, you’ll be given responsibility from the start, acting as a brand ambassador and guardian for our products. Upon joining, you will take part in our 3-year Commercial Academy programme which will provide you with a strong business and commercial understanding of our products and services. We believe in learning by doing, so after an initial induction, you will be delegated your own territory and will start selling Warburtons products immediately!
As a Commercial Graduate, you will spend your first 12 months in the field nationally visiting customers to help drive their business and ours out in stores, followed by a move into other Commercial areas up in the North West. Building relationships and collaborating well with colleagues across the business are vital, as people and values are our most important ingredients.
Training and development are continuous at Warburtons. We focus on your career development. This isn’t just a job, it’s a career with many opportunities.
The Role
We’re looking for enthusiastic, motivated individuals with a passion for food retail (and bakery puns!). Our 3-year Commercial Academy programme offers experience in the field during the first 12 months, then opportunities to move into other Commercial areas at Head Office.
Commercial is an exciting and innovative area at Warburtons, with teams in Customer, Category, Marketing Communications, Product Management, Innovation, Instore Sales, and Supply Chain. Each team supports various sales initiatives and brand campaigns to ensure we feed the nation with our No. 1 bakery brand.
We have also delivered marketing campaigns featuring George Clooney, Peter Kaye, Robert De Niro, Samuel L Jackson, and Olivia Colman. While you may not work with A-listers, you will work with highly skilled colleagues who know how to earn their crust!
By the end of the programme, you will have gained essential Commercial skills and knowledge, setting you up for success. This programme provides a strong foundation to accelerate your career towards becoming a senior leader in our business.
We are dedicated to your future, as it is essential to ours.
