Job Details

Our client is one of the UK’s leading suppliers of household brands familiar to us all as well as an extensive private label portfolio.

They have a proven track record of intelligent acquisition and developing on-trend offerings for today’s consumers, which has led them to achieve significant growth.

The company has a strong set of core values, which aligned with an entrepreneurial and fast-paced working culture ensures they offer a hugely rewarding environment for those with ambitions to accelerate career growth.

They now require a National Account Manager to take the reins with their leading chilled account - Sainsbury’s. They are looking to drive growth by increasing profit and driving NPD in to new extended category offerings.

As more of a ‘typical private label’ manufacturing arena, it is important the account is led by someone with an excellent track record of relationship management, strong negation skills and a healthy hands on approach to their work ethic.

Reporting directly to the National Account Controller, you will already be familiar with leading NPD and category projects and general multi-project management.

Successful applicants will need to have a strong understanding of the grocery channel and previous account management with Sainsbury’s would be advantageous.

Company

For over a decade now, Food Industry Associates Ltd have proven to be a recruiter of choice for ambitious SME food and beverage manufacturers across the UK.  We don't recruit for the big corporates by choice.  Instead, we choose to work with companies with personality, entrepreneurial flare (not process), looking to disrupt the market with cutting edge innovation to provide consumers with better, healthier choices.

Are you an early stage start-up struggling to find the right solution to help you gain your fist listings in a specific customer channel before you can raise the budget to employ somebody on a permanent basis?  Maybe you know you need to source a commercial leader but aren't 100% clear in what format, or how to adequately incentivise somebody from a much larger business to join your mission?  Come speak to us.

If you're a more established business looking to bring fresh talent on board to drive ambitious sales targets, source a creative innovator to help you drive in to new extended categories, or looking to strengthen in marketing / category terms, again, come speak to us.

We've a proven record in recruiting talent for an array of businesses, helping them source commercial talent to help them achieve their goals.  From early stage sales talent through to equity-incentivised leadership roles, we've proven time and time again to find the right people for our clients at the first attempt.  

How are we different to most of our competitors?  Unlike most, we don't have as diverse a portfolio of clients we work with.  However all those we do work with continuously come back to us whenever they next have another need.  In our opinion successful recruitment is achieved when two businesses truly 'partner' and collaborate together.  In our opinion the better we know you, the better we understand all the extra elements aside from simple skillset and experience to ensure the right 'fit' is identified at the first attempt.  In our opinion, this is recruitment, done properly.
