• Grow the P&G Pro business by selling our professional product line to end‑users in the focus areas of Hospitality, Healthcare, and Restaurants.
• Win contracts through successful tenders.
• Develop business‑building ideas and sell these ideas to our accounts, leading and executing those ideas into reality.
• Market our professional range of products to enable our customers to understand how their superiority meets their consumers’ needs.
• Support and collaborate with local distributors in the Food & Janitorial industries.
• Lead from the front: we need people to understand customer commercial needs and business to envision them in building opportunities. To do this we’ll help you develop expertise in areas such as product knowledge and technical support.

• Meaningful Work from Day 1: From Day 1, you’ll be owning your part of the business and helping it to grow. You’ll be given the space and opportunity to bring your experience, energy, and new perspectives to make a genuine impact right from the start, supported with continuous and supportive coaching from your manager and the wider team.
