Customer Business Manager

Homebased

Permanent, Full Time

Join Premier Foods — where people, brands and purpose come together.

Are you commercially driven, confident building customer relationships and ready to take ownership of a key grocery account?

We have an exciting internal opportunity for a Customer Business Manager to lead our grocery business with TJ Morris, Home Bargains. Working in a fast-paced and dynamic channel, you’ll have the autonomy to shape plans, spot new opportunities and deliver sustainable growth for Premier Foods.

This is a highly visible role where you can make a real impact, working with colleagues across Sales, Marketing, Category, Supply Chain and Finance to turn commercial opportunities into results.

What you’ll be doing

• Taking full ownership of the account P&L and delivering against budget.
• Driving sustainable growth through strong joint business plans and excellent execution.
• Building trusted relationships with the customer and key internal stakeholders.
• Negotiating and delivering annual account, range and promotional plans.
• Identifying new business opportunities, closing distribution gaps and supporting successful product launches.
• Leading internal and external performance reviews, with a clear focus on opportunities, risks and actions.
• Improving the accuracy of monthly sales forecasts by working closely with Supply Chain, Finance and factory forecasting teams.
• Representing the Discounters channel across Premier Foods and working cross-functionally to deliver channel-specific initiatives.
• Partnering with Marketing and Category teams to develop compelling, fact-based customer opportunities.
• Managing pricing, promotions, claims and account queries effectively.

What we need from you

• Strong commercial acumen and the confidence to manage budgets and financial performance.
• Experience of account management, customer business management or a similar commercial role.
• Strong negotiation and fact-based selling skills.
• The ability to build positive, mutually beneficial relationships internally and externally.
• Confident communication skills, with the ability to influence across different functions and levels.
• Strong planning, organisation and time-management skills.
• A proactive mindset with the ability to turn insight into clear action.
• Creative and critical thinking, with sound commercial judgement.
• A collaborative approach and the agility to succeed in a fast-moving environment.
• Experience within the high-street discount channel would be beneficial, but it is not essential.

What we offer in return

This is an opportunity to take genuine ownership of an important customer relationship and make a visible contribution to the growth of our Discounters channel. You'll work with a supportive, cross-functional team, gain broad commercial exposure and build experience that could support future progression into roles such as Senior Customer Business Manager or Sales Controller.

Alongside a rewarding career opportunity, you'll benefit from a competitive rewards package, including:

• Competitive Salary
• Annual Bonus
• Car Allowance
• Company Pension
• Private Medical Insurance
• Holiday Purchase Scheme
• Sharesave Scheme
• EV Car Scheme
