National Account Manager

Great opportunity for a National Account Manager who is looking for development and mentoring, working in an established team where people, innovation and quality are their key priorities. This role supports a strategic Retail account and helps drives commercial growth. This business has grown significantly over the last 12 months, and you would be joining a food business where you can see the next move in your commercial career.

The Business

• Food business with a strong presence in the FMCG sector.
• Recognition by the Retailers as a quality led business.
• Significant growth and business plans for the next 12 months and plus.
• Impressive staff retention.
• Evident, tangible people centric organisation.
• Fast paced FMCG business with recognised, impressive brands.
• A wide portfolio of products.
• Dynamic business that is shaping itself as a major player within own label manufacture.

The Role

• Management of key Retailer account reporting into the Head of Sales.
• Supporting the P&L of a strategic account.
• Forecasting and interpreting data to drive the accounts.
• Being that key contact for the customer.
• Working cross functionally to help drive commercial projects.

Your background needs to cover:

• Account management and strong commercial acumen with experience of the major UK retailers (Sainsbury's or Tesco or Asda or Morrisons or Waitrose or M&S)
• Understanding how the FMCG manufacturer relationship with the retailer including JBP's and category management etc.
• Commercially and financially astute.
• Ambitious and hungry.
• Ability to work as part of a team internally and externally.
• Numerically adept.

As mentioned above, this business takes people management seriously and it's a core strength for them. If you are earlier in your career and keen to be developed but not quite ticked all the above boxes, still get in touch. Equally, the fact this is a home-based role and a good location for a more experienced individual looking for a progressive, modern and flexible business, this would be an ideal next step.

We are looking to arrange interviews with the client in early April so don't delay.
