The role at a glance

If you like fast-paced environments, commercial decision-making and working at the sharp end of retail, fresh produce is hard to beat. This is a hands-on commercial role where the market moves quickly, priorities shift daily and your decisions genuinely matter.

You'll be responsible for some of the UK's most high-profile supermarket customers, acting as the key point of contact and owning the commercial performance of those accounts end to end.

What you'll be doing

You'll have full responsibility for a portfolio of Top 4 retail customers, ensuring each account is commercially strong and operationally sound.

Your role will involve:

• Leading commercial negotiations around pricing, promotions and volumes.

• Developing and maintaining senior-level customer relationships.

• Working closely with operations, supply chain and technical teams to ensure service, quality and availability.

• Monitoring market conditions, crop challenges and trends to anticipate issues and opportunities.

• Contributing to new product development and category initiatives with customers.

This is a role for someone comfortable making decisions in real time, managing competing priorities and keeping customers satisfied without losing sight of margin.

About the company

The business is a well-regarded fresh produce supplier with long-standing relationships across major UK retailers. Quality, reliability and partnership are central to how they operate, alongside a clear focus on innovation and sustainability.

You'll be joining a collaborative, commercially minded team where people are trusted to take ownership, speak up and drive improvements rather than just follow process.

Who this could suit

You'll already have experience working with major UK retailers within fresh produce and be confident managing complex customer relationships. If you're looking for a role that offers variety, autonomy and real commercial influence, this could be just what you've been looking for.
