These are broad category ownership roles, covering the retail proposition, procurement strategy, supplier base, commercial performance and seasonal trading across key produce areas.

One role may also include retail-side responsibility for a related seasonal grocery category, working closely with a separate specialist procurement team. This is a fast-paced, commercial role where decisions matter quickly.

You'll have real ownership of a visible fresh produce category, with direct influence over retail performance, supplier strategy, customer value and seasonal execution. The role also offers meaningful exposure to growers, suppliers and international sourcing markets, with overseas travel expected around four to six times per year depending on category.
