National Account Manager – Branded

Competitive Salary, Car Allowance, Bonus & Benefits.

Home Based

An exciting opportunity for a National Account Manager has developed with a leading FMCG sales, marketing and distribution company. The business works within the Grocery Multiples, High Street Retailers and Health Food Channels with a portfolio of branded food and drink products. Due to their rapid expansion and exceptional growth of their own brands as well as their portfolio of managed brands, the company are now looking to recruit an impressive National Account Manager to join their team.

As National Account Manager, you will be looking after a mixture of grocery accounts in the UK and the role will also involve focus on export opportunities. The main focus of this role will be to achieve new listings or increase the turnover of these accounts, managing price increases, promotional activity and the NPD feedback process. The role is home based, however you will spend time visiting the retailers, and some time will be spent travelling in respect to export opportunities along with regular meetings with the rest of the commercial team around the UK.

You will assess and evaluate the market and drive brand thinking both internally and externally. Through detailed analysis you will create sales strategies to win new business. You will be in direct contact with large supermarket chains, attending meetings and develop strong customer relationships.

You have a strong Commercial background with National Account Management experience, ideally gained in an FMCG environment. You could also be a proved National Account Executive looking to make the next step in your career. Importantly you must have a track record of success working with brands - ideally you will have already dealt with the major supermarkets in the UK and may already have experience in export business development.

You are dynamic and ambitious - comfortable presenting your ideas both internally and externally. You will possess strong commercial and financial acumen and have experience of working with national retail grocery accounts. This is a fantastic opportunity to work on some amazing brands and to join such a growing business.
