As one of our Commercial Executives, you will spend your first 12 months in the Customer team, supporting the Senior Customer Business Manager in providing best in class customer management team , followed by a move into our field based team.

The Role
We’re looking for a highly enthusiastic, motivated commercial colleague with a passion and love for food retail (and bakery puns!)
Our 2-3 year Commercial Academy programme provides the opportunity for you to work with our fantastic customers, getting to know how our business and customers operate in your first 12 months in our Customer team, then moving into a field based role and then into other Commercial areas of the business in Head office after this.
Commercial is one of the most exciting and innovative areas of Warburtons, with various teams in Customer, Category, Marketing Communications, Product Management, Innovation, Instore Sales and Supply Chain areas; each leading and supporting the business on a range of exciting sales initiatives and brand campaigns throughout the year to ensure we feed the nation with their No. 1 brand in bakery.
We are also proud to have developed and delivered marketing campaigns that have featured George Clooney, Peter Kaye, Robert De Niro, Sylvester Stallone and most recently Samuel L Jackson. Whilst we can't promise you’ll rub shoulders with this bunch of impressive A listers- you will be working with highly experienced and skilled colleagues that also know how to earn their crust!
Whichever function you then follow, by the end of your programme you will have gained all the necessary Commercial skills and knowledge you need to set you up for success, but your journey doesn’t stop there, as this programme gives a great foundation to accelerate your career to ultimately become a senior leader in our business.
We are dedicated to your future, as it is essential to ours.
