At MKJ Ignite, we partner with some of the most exciting challenger brands in FMCG—and this one’s transforming how people think about pet nutrition. They’ve delivered millions of meals, built a fiercely loyal customer base, and are on a mission to raise the bar in the pet category with natural, no-compromise products that prioritise animal wellbeing and sustainability.

Managing trackers, reports, and category data to keep things running like clockwork
Working with merch teams and customers to ensure top-tier in-store presence and display execution
Coordinating POS and promotional activity (think: FSDUs, off-shelf and sampling)
Helping build fixturisation solutions and supporting cross-functional retail projects
Owning master data integrity, pricing files, and customer systems
Supporting with planning inputs, S&OP, and tracking trading plans
Learning the ropes on consultative selling and category management
What we’re looking for:
FMCG experience—ideally 1–2 years in a sales or commercial support role
Someone commercially curious, organised, and excited to grow
Confident with data, happy in Excel and able to juggle a few things at once
Great energy, communication, and team spirit—ready to get stuck in
Passion for challenger brands and a genuine interest in the pet space
✨ What’s in it for you:
£40–50k salary, plus bonus
25 days holiday + birthday off + paid charity days + sabbatical after 4 years
£1,000 personal L&D budget + full retail training programme
