National Account Manager – Grocery Top 4
c. £55,000 + Bonus + Car + Benefits
Home based
Our client is a leading producer of both branded and own label dairy products. They hold a strong market share and have enjoyed excellent growth in recent years. This is a business that is highly innovative as they are constantly developing exciting new products and are entrepreneurial in their nature. They offer a fantastic working culture with strong employee retention and can also offer good career progression opportunities. Due to an internal promotion, our client is now looking to recruit a National Account Manager to join their grocery team.
As National Account Manager you will take responsibility for one of the UK’s top four grocery customers. You will be expected to use your excellent relationship building skills in order to make a quick impact with buyers, and also use your commercial and analytical abilities to help drive sales and profitability. Accurate forecasting will be an important path to success in this role, as will a creative and entrepreneurial approach to managing promotions.
To be considered for this excellent opportunity you will be a proven National Account Manager from within the food industry. You will ideally have exposure to managing major grocery accounts, although candidates that have proven themselves with convenience or second tier retailers will also be considered. Exposure to short shelf life foods would be a plus, as would experience of branded and own label products, although neither is essential. Of greater importance is the drive, talent and ability to make a genuine impact in such a role. Skills such as good communication, numerical and analytical thinking, and strong presentation abilities are key.
To apply for this exciting opportunity, send in your CV today.
