We are on the hunt for a Retail Account Executive to join our team at our HQ in central Bristol. This is a newly created exciting role due to continued growth of our retail business. The role would suit a candidate with long term ambitions to become a National Account Manager or skill up in sales and customer relationships.
The role
The role will be supporting the team across various accounts/customers, including our grocer and foodservice accounts. There will be day to day administrative tasks associated with running the accounts and the relevant portals, as well as helping the team prepare for important customer meetings.
Each day is likely to be very different, and the RAE will learn The Jolly Hog business inside out, as well as learning how the world of retail and food service works from the backend, all the way through to seeing products on shelves/on menus. The role will cover everything from data analysis to going on store visits to preparing presentations.
There is great opportunity for development in this role; we are going through a big period of growth, and we will give the candidate all the tools and training to become a National Account Manager in the future.

* Retail portals management – promotion loading / product setups / EPOS sales analysis

* Activation at retailer events. Sampling and Engagement
* Support retailer meetings
* Store visits to provide insights back to the team
