* Commercial conversations with retailers and suppliers are well within your wheelhouse. You speak the language of manufacturing partnerships and range reviews
* Equally, you're prepared to "roll up your sleeves" and get into the granular around COGS, value creation and packaging, your bread and butter is product and project management
* We're category agnostic insofar as desired profile, yet exposure within dairy is considered an added bonus
* You're either an existing functional Manager, or someone who's something of a subject matter expert in a larger structure who's ready to "own" their own space.
