Reporting to the Sales Enablement Leader, you’ll partner with our National Accounts teams and shape how work gets done—bringing structure to complexity, driving alignment across stakeholders, and turning plans into action.

  • Own the communication rhythm across the National Accounts cycle, ensuring clarity and consistency
  • Lead cross-functional initiatives, from annual planning through to fast-paced activations
  • Connect and align stakeholders across sales, supply chain, marketing, finance, and external partners
  • Own and evolve end-to-end processes to drive efficiency and better outcomes
  • Enable execution through smart use of systems and tools (e.g. SAP, Sales Hub)
  • Uphold strong governance across pricing, compliance, and operational frameworks

About you

  • Strong project management skills with the ability to juggle multiple priorities
  • A confident communicator who can influence and align diverse stakeholders
  • Comfortable navigating ambiguity and driving outcomes end-to-end
  • Commercially aware, with a solid understanding of how businesses operate
  • Experience inFMCG or similarly complex environments is a plus
  • Background in sales, sales support, marketing, or commercial roles

Why this role?
