Strategic Account Manager Virtual Brands - 12 month FTC

Then Just Eat Takeaway might be the place for you. We're a leading global online food delivery platform, and our vision is to empower everyday convenience. Whether it's a Friday-night feast, a post-gym poke bowl, or grabbing some groceries, our tech platform connects tens of millions of customers with hundreds of thousands of restaurant, grocery, and convenience partners across the globe.

Virtual Brands are delivery-only food concepts that operate out of existing restaurant kitchens. They've rapidly grown in the food delivery market, and Just Eat has partnered with thousands nationwide. Having seen their impact, we're now shifting focus from quantity to quality, building fewer but more strategic partnerships.

We are looking for a highly strategic thinker to join our National Strategic Accounts team and lead on our Virtual Brands evolution. This person will manage the partnerships with our high-priority Virtual Brand partners, but also have a direct input on our future partnership opportunities, whilst being given the autonomy to recommend changes to our Virtual Brand ways of working, to ensure that we continue to evolve, and eventually usurp our competitors in this space.

• Trading and Planning: Draft and drive the quarterly business plans in collaboration with the Virtual Brand partners, ensuring targets are met and KPIs are consistently delivered. Oversee the promotional budget, forecast spend, and create a trading calendar that aligns with strategic goals and market opportunities for Virtual Brands.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with internal teams to align on initiatives and ensure the success of Virtual Brand partnerships, seeking opportunities to align JET's marketing strategy with key cultural moments.
• Negotiation & Strategic Input: Key voice in new Virtual Brand partnerships, providing valuable insights and strategic analysis to ensure that Just Eat can continue to provide valuable support to all of our potential partners.
