  • If you are not already ‘commercially aware’’, we will need you to develop this thinking quickly

Responsibilities

  • The Scheme is 18 months in duration and is based in our St Albans office in Hertfordshire
  • It starts in September on the same date as all our other Graduates (this is key as you all join as a cohort)
  • You will then spend 3 months with ‘Reach’ (our field sales team), learning about our customers, our Brands and how and why our consumers buy our products. We will issue you with a car for these 3 months, so you will need to be able to drive.
  • You will then have two head office placements to give you a broad understanding of the commercial function at Premier Foods. Placements can be in any of these areas: Category Management, Commercial Planning, Online Trading, International, Customer Marketing or our Own Label team.
  • Assuming you perform and achieve the standard we expect, at the end of the scheme we will promote you to Customer Account Exec, Category Exec or another suitable role that matches your skills.
  • What will you get from us?
  • A great induction! Including a Corporate Induction and time in at least one of our Manufacturing locations
  • A fantastic opportunity to gain valuable commercial experience and exposure in your three placement roles
  • During the scheme you will attend various off-job training courses that will support your personal development
  • You will receive regular reviews and feedback from your line manager - all to help you learn and develop
  • You will work alongside some experienced commercial professionals and learn on-the-job all of our processes and ways and working. You will be given early responsibility which will give you exposure to key business activity
  • At the end of the scheme, we will continue to support your career progression and development, the pace of which will be dictated by two things – your personal capability and potential and the right opportunity becoming available
