  • Capturing customer insights and market intelligence in CRM systems to support procurement, planning, and commercial strategy.
  • Monitoring competitor activity and implementing strategies to maintain market leadership.
  • Reporting monthly on business activities and financial performance.

As this role involves occasional travel, flexibility is essential.

What you'll bring:

  • Tertiary qualifications in Business, Commerce, or a related discipline
  • 5+ years B2B sales experience in food & beverage, personal/home care, or complementary healthcare manufacturing
  • A track record of success managing key accounts, delivering on sales targets, and driving profitable growth
  • Experience developing customer and product plans, with a focus on pricing strategies and margin management
  • Experience supporting NPD, innovation, or market development with customers
  • Strong commercial and financial acumen, including experience with forecasting, pricing, and supply agreements
  • Experience using CRM and ERP systems (Salesforce, SAP, and BW are highly desirable)
  • Strong analytical skills and the ability to translate insights into actions
  • Excellent communication and relationship building skills with both customers and internal teams
  • A proactive, solutions focused mindset with the ability to think creatively, manage competing priorities, and deliver results in a fast-paced environment
  • A collaborative style and commitment to working as part of a national and cross-business team
