* Internal Advocacy: Represent Deliveroo across your partner's organisation while ensuring internal stakeholders provide the necessary support to hit joint targets.
What You'll Need to Thrive
Our ideal candidate will bring strong expertise in some of these areas and curiosity to grow in others:
* Commercial Depth: Significant experience in account management or commercial roles (typically 4-5 years), ideally within the grocery or retail sector.
* Data Fluency: Confident in analysing data to cut through the noise and provide clear, actionable recommendations for growth.
* Partner Obsession: Proven ability to build effective relationships and communicate across all levels of an organisation.
* Strategic Agility: Ability to create strategies to drive joint business growth and a willingness to trial new ideas at a rapid pace.
* Collaborative Mindset: A team player who can get the best out of those around them and work effectively within a dynamic, high-growth environment.
