You’ll give truly growth-focused recommendations to become the go-to partner for range reviews, merchandising windows, strategy and projects.
5. Category vision & growth plans - you’ll work alongside the commercial team to develop a vision for the Fruit Lager category, and to bring this growth opportunity to life across Grocery and wider retail.
