Walgreens Manager Jobs (NOW HIRING)

We are Reckitt

Home to the world's best loved and trusted hygiene, health, and nutrition brands. Our purpose defines why we exist: to protect, heal and nurture in the relentless pursuit of a cleaner, healthier world. We are a global team united by this purpose. Join us in our fight to make access to the highest quality hygiene, wellness, and nourishment a right and not a privilege.

Sales

Our Sales teams help to deliver Reckitt's purpose by building shared success with our customers, making access to the highest quality hygiene, wellness, and nourishment possible in-stores and online. Within Sales, we're focused on achieving outperformance across all of our channels, operating in highly competitive categories. This focus results in a dynamic, fast paced environment where cross functional teams are encouraged to collaborate to achieve success. We have around 10,000 sales people across the world, within market roles and ranging in areas like Field Sales, Key Accounts, Trade Marketing and Category Development.

Why the Walgreens Team? 

The Walgreens account is one of Reckitt's most strategically important partnerships in the US. As one of the country's leading pharmacy and health & wellness retailers, Walgreens is the natural home for Reckitt's portfolio of iconic brands.
This isn't a team where you're handed a playbook and told to execute. You'll be part of a high-performing, collaborative group where each Key Account Manager owns their business end-to-end, from joint business planning and line reviews to promotional and omnichannel strategy. You'll have the scope, the support, and the platform to genuinely exceed expectations, learn and grow.
As a team we have a track record of winning. We hold ourselves to a high standard; commercially, creatively, and in the relationships we build with our partners at Walgreens and we back each other to deliver. If you want to be part of a team that takes the work seriously and genuinely enjoys doing it, we'd love to hear from you.
