SENIOR ACCOUNT MANAGER – TESCO

£60-£80k + Company Car & Benefits

Midlands / East Anglia

 

Company

One of Europe’s most successful manufacturers of both chilled and ambient food products have created a new opportunity for a Senior Account Manager to help further develop their UK grocery business. Within the last 5 years the UK business has grown profitably by in excess of £40m, this is largely due to their constant development of market leading products. The business manufactures all their own products from their 25 factories globally stretching from the UK to China. Their impressive product portfolio includes both branded and own label premium ambient foods as well as a wide range of chilled dairy products. They have a very strong offering within all of the top 6 grocery multiples as well as the various foodservice channels. Following on from the recent growth and the increased demand for their products they have created a new position for a Senior Account Manager to develop one of their top 4 grocery accounts.

Role

As a Senior Account Manager you will take full responsibility for the Tesco account across both the ambient and child product range. You will operate at a strategic level and be capable of identifying and then taking advantage of the growth opportunities within the account. To succeed in the role you must possess a ‘can-do’ attitude, a desire to be challenged and a hunger to work in hands-on environment. You will report to the Commercial Director, so you can expect decisions to be made quickly, as well as a degree of autonomy to influence the business.

Requirements

To be considered for this role you must be a driven and dynamic individual with a proven track record of growing and developing business within the top 4 multiples, ideally Tesco. As for product background, experience within a short shelf life category is preferred but not essential.  It is important that you can fit into a real team culture but also have ability to stand on your own. My client is looking for a loyal individual that wants to be a real part of the company’s long term plans and growth strategy. The successful candidate will need to display commitment and the will to progress in a very forward thinking successful business. Should you have any questions, please contact Aidan Goodall on 0113 2395513.
