Here at innocent, we’re on a mission to make it easier for everyone to get more fruit and veg into their bodies. We started back in 1999 and since then we’ve gone from selling a few smoothies at a music festival to becoming one of Europe’s biggest drinks companies with around 1,000 people (and the B Corp seal of approval).

It’s nice to be able to say things like that but we’re not patting ourselves on the back just yet. We want to show everyone that it’s possible to be a successful business while looking after people and the planet too, so we’re trying to get better in pretty much every way. And that’s where this job comes in.

what you'll be doing

We are looking for a Senior Commercial Manager (SNAM) to lead one of innocent's biggest customers and channels. This is a crucial role in ensuring we execute the channel strategy and work hand in hand with our customers to grow the category.

This is a role where leadership and account management are of equal importance. You will directly manage one of innocent’s biggest and highest profile customers, ensuring we are seen as a valued, strategic supplier and leading a team of 3: 1 x Commercial Manager and 2 x Commercial Executives to deliver on their objectives.

Being seen as a company that adds value to the customer beyond just sales on shelf is critical to success and driving a high-performance team culture will be crucial, especially as you lead people in different stages of their role lifecycles, ensuring they have the growth to deliver in their role and develop.

you'll have

Proven track record in grocery or convenience commercial roles off the back of excellent account management skills
Strong leadership skills to drive your team to high performance
Excellent relationship building skills as you meet and interact with multiple stakeholders
Brilliant communication skills to influence internally and externally
Resilience. You will constantly need to problem solve to find the way that works
A strategic mind to set the vision for the future.

you'll get

This is a high profile part of the business and you’ll get exposure to senior stakeholders and the opportunity to influence on future innovation and activations.

We want innocent to be a great place to work, so we do lots of stuff to make people feel at home and try to make sure everyone’s career is shaping up the way they want it to. There are plenty of opportunities to have a go at something new or take things further.

In exchange for helping us do business in the right way, you’ll get a solid rewards package that includes a salary (phew), private healthcare, a target-based bonus, and a bunch of other nice things like a day off on your birthday. And yes, you get free smoothies.

We also know that not all our drinkers come from the same background, or think the same – so why should we? At innocent, we want to be a great place to work where a diverse bunch of people from all backgrounds can turn up and thrive. When we hire, we want all the juice, bits, and pulp that make you who you are.

Even if you don’t think you can tick all the boxes, if the job sounds right for you, come and throw your hat in the ring.

Probably best to get your skates on though, as we might close this early if we get loads of applications.
