Key FMCG tasks

As FMCG spans across a number of different industries and the roles within these sectors vary significantly, the tasks you will be responsible for in FMCG will depend on the position you hold.
 
As an FMCG buyer your key responsibilities would typically include:
 
  • Negotiating with suppliers to obtain competitive prices.
  • Developing and preparing purchase orders.
  • Reviewing incoming requisitions.
  • Administering and reviewing purchase orders.
  • Purchasing materials.
  • Monitoring and evaluating supplier compliance.
 
An FMCG planner, however, is likely to be responsible for demand forecasts, reviewing historical sales trends, reconciling variances and refining forecast models, supporting the supply planning team, reviewing the sales plans as well as managing and maintaining stock throughout the year. 
 

Key FMCG skills

The skills required in FMCG will vary depending on your role and seniority. In general, a role-specific qualification is required along with any essential transferable skills such as an eye for detail, initiative or strong organisational skills that relate to the roles. In some higher level or management positions, past experience in a similar role in the FMCG sector is essential.
 
If you are looking at a sales role in FMCG, a good understanding of the market is always important, along with an in-depth understanding of the key components of the sales and customer marketing functions, and a proven track record of achievement in strategic sales.
 
Similarly, if you are looking for a marketing position a working knowledge of product/brand marketing and a passion for brands is highly valued. The ability to be creative and communicate with senior stakeholders are also important skills.
 
If you are unsure of the skills you need to exceed in FMCG, be sure to get in touch with one of our specialist consultants today.
 

Qualifications and experience

Qualifications you may be required to hold in an FMCG role might include specialised marketing degrees or even engineering, depending on your role in the industry. In general, experience is key in FMCG. The more experience you have within the sector the better off you will be when looking to relocate, change roles or progress your career.
 
If there is a role you’re interested in please get in touch, we welcome any conversations about your career opportunities.
