Looking after France and Scandinavia, you will be the main contact for the country managers for all day to day matters involving sales, pricing, discounts, customers, forecasting and inventory issues for the business. 

You will analyse and review the commercial performance of the business including maintenance of the overhead costs of all departments.  You will actively participate in the effective communication and actioning of key priorities and business plans. 

Working closely with the country managers and key customers, you will develop programs to maintain and drive sales growth.
