• Commercial & P&L ownership – owning the P&L for a defined area of the portfolio (Porridge), managing budgets and supporting forecasting
• Customer & channel development – supporting compelling retailer presentations and partnering with Sales to deliver best‑in‑class execution
• Cross‑functional collaboration – working closely with Sales, Supply Chain, Finance and R&D to deliver projects seamlessly

What we need from you?
