  • You should have strong knowledge of the UK Off Trade landscape, and ideally experience working with European distributors.
  • You should be a self-motivated, independent 'go-getter' who thrives on closing deals and building long-lasting partnerships.
  • You should have a hands-on approach with a passion for brand-building and developing growth strategies.
  • You should be commercially astute with excellent communication and negotiation skills.

Why This Opportunity?
