With exceptional financial and analytical skills, the role will also expect you to monitor sales reports, identify trends and best-seller products and report on the market and its competitors.

Based in the North West, this is a national role with a salary of up to £80k DOE and one that will require regular UK travel. Our clients are looking for high calibre candidates with a proven track record in growth and profitability, having worked for a large company previously.
