National Account Manager – Health & Beauty

£40-65,000 Basic, No Bonus, No Car or Car Allowance

Our Client is a company with manufacturing plants throughout Europe, and they manufacture health and beauty / toiletries for sale into the major multiple retailers. They do a whole range of health and beauty categories, including skin care, hair care,  baby care, sun care, body care etc.

They have a vacancy for a National Account Manager to look after Aldi and Asda

This is what they’re looking for :

. Candidates must have exposure to a top four account ( Asda would be something of a bonus but not essential ). It would also be a bonus if candidates had exposure to Aldi, but again this is not essential.

. Candidates must be from an own label background. This is essential.

. Candidates should ideally be from a health and beauty background however our Client will also consider candidates from other categories as long as they have worked in a category where they fill bottles with liquid ( eg car care , soft drinks, gardening ).

. Candidates should be able to hold basic level conversations with buyers about packaging Should have at least a basic knowledge of the different types of packaging, ie PETs, Flip Top Caps, Screw Caps, Disc Tops etc ).

. Candidates should ideally be familiar with the process of taking briefs from a buyer, and then liaising with the NPD department and technologists.

The role is office based ( in Yorkshire ) although they are quite relaxed about the jobholder working from home one day per week if it suits the business. Any travel to and from the office is to be paid for by the jobholder. Travel to and from customers is paid for by the company at the rate of 45p per mile ( first 10,000 miles ) then 25 p per subsequent mile.

Living location – On a dot to dot basis, starting off at Bolton, go north east to Burnley and then Skipton, and from Skipton to Knaresborough. From Knaresborough follow the A1 south to Doncaster and from Doncaster go to Rotherham, from Rotherham take a straight line back to Bolton.

Remuneration  Basic £40k to £65k, but they would very much prefer to pay no more than £50k / £55k if at all possible. There is currently no bonus, but there might be one next year ( but it’s not guaranteed ). There is no car or car allowance.

Please note that by responding to this advert you are giving permission to Houghton Associates Executive Selection Ltd to communicate with you about this role and any other roles we may handle that could be of interest to you.

DUE TO ANTICIPATED RESPONSE LEVELS WE SHALL ONLY BE ABLE TO CONTACT SUCCESSFUL APPLICANTS. IF YOU DO NOT HEAR FROM US YOUR APPLICATION WILL BE DEEMED UNSUCCESSFUL ON THIS OCCASION.
