National Account Manager

Based Northampton

*£Competitive + car + generous bonus + benefits *

You're already a success as an FMCG Account Manager. You just crave a bigger challenge.

Do you have the fmcg sales expertise that it takes to build a successful career with one of the UK's largest beer and beverage companies? Are you thirsty for the opportunity to make your mark at a national level? Congratulations, you're in the right place.

You probably know us best for Carlsberg and Carlsberg Export. But, there's more to us than meets the eye. From Tetley's to Tuborg, San Miguel to Somersby Cider - we produce lots of leading brands. We also import premium world beers like Staropramen and Mahou, have an impressive portfolio of cask ales and source specialist wines and spirits from around the globe to delight our customers with. We're the Premier League's official beer too, not to mention our partnership with the UK's best festivals - Glastonbury and Download to name just a couple.

Right now, we're looking for a commercially astute individual with an impressive track record in sales/marketing, to drive sales of our products nationally through the major grocery chains. A strategic role focused on big-ticket sales in the fmcg world, you'll be operating at corporate level and agreeing national sales plans that will be delivered and implemented by our field sales teams both regionally and locally. And, as well as pulling up trees on the sales front, we'll also rely on you to optimise our debt risk and cash flow.

A natural born negotiator, communicator and leader, your proven sales experience to date has also given you a firm grasp of P&L down to GCC. What's more, you have a real flair for identifying opportunities to improve the customer portfolio and coming up with new ideas to increase profitability. You're comfortable producing accurate sales forecasts too, and, when it comes to influencing and driving a virtual team or meeting with stakeholders, you're confident in your ability to operate effectively at every level.

On top of the culture and career development opportunities that make working with us so rewarding, we'll also give you a company car (for which you'll need a clean driving licence). Oh, and a product allowance, a flexible benefits scheme, defined contribution pension, private medical cover and generous holidays. So, what are you waiting for? The broader opportunities you crave with a world leader could be yours for the taking.

Carlsberg. To many we’re a famous Danish pilsner beer. To others, we make the best beer adverts ever, probably. To our colleagues, we’re so much more. We’re a brewer with 170-years of heritage and a reputation for making great beer at breweries across the world. We support this through continuous scientific innovation, centred at the Carlsberg Laboratory in Copenhagen, where the pH Scale was developed.

Alongside Carlsberg Pilsner, our enviable portfolio of beer brands includes Carlsberg Export, San Miguel, Tetley’s, Poretti and Brooklyn Lager. Some we brew, others we licence from our valued brewing partners Mahou, San Miguel and Brooklyn Brewery. We build these brands through iconic communications and sponsorship assets that include Glastonbury and Live Nation festivals, such as Reading, Leeds, Wireless and Latitude.

Above all else, we have a purpose and commitment to Brewing for a Better Today & Tomorrow, which is core to everything we do, from sales to sustainability. Carlsberg really is a great place to work. Internationally renowned brands, an exciting and stimulating environment and outstanding opportunities for personal development on a global stage.
