Are you highly organised, commercially minded and someone who gets things done?
I'm working with an exciting and growing Food / FMCG business looking for a Commercial Assistant to provide essential support to the Commercial Director and wider commercial team.
This is a fast-paced, hands-on role where you'll play a key part in keeping customers, orders, product launches, documentation and commercial activity moving.

- Supporting the Commercial Director with key customer accounts and opportunities
- Managing commercial back-office activity, including orders, price lists, proposals and customer documentation
- Supporting new product launches and new product introductions
- Coordinating customer requirements, campaigns and promotions
- Maintaining accurate commercial information and documentation
- Following up with customers, suppliers and internal teams to ensure deadlines are met
- Supporting product quality and technical documentation where required

- We're looking for someone who is:
- Highly organised and detail-focused
- Fast-paced, proactive and commercially aware
- Comfortable managing multiple priorities
- A strong communicator and relationship builder
- Able to work independently without constant supervision
- Experienced in commercial administration, sales support or FMCG/food

Why this opportunity?
You'll work closely with the Commercial Director, giving you excellent exposure to customers, commercial strategy, new product launches and the wider FMCG industry.
This is a role for someone who wants to be more than an administrator — someone who wants to become an integral part of a growing commercial operation.
