Job Details

We are looking for a National Account Manager to lead a key portfolio of manufacturing accounts in the food & beverage industry.

 

This global leading business operates in the ingredients industry supplying to UK’s biggest names in food & beverages. They set the industry benchmark high with their renewable energy run state of the art production facilities in over 20 countries, innovation & scientific research functions and reputation for high quality products. Having a well-established customer focussed ethos has enabled them to trade healthily and put them in a very financially stable position.

 

As a National Account Manager you will be responsible for a diverse portfolio of manufacturing accounts within confectionary/snacking/seafood/soups and many more. Your core intention will be to build on existing relationships and further cement the dual partnership for mutual gains. Playing a very visual role with customers you will develop long term relationships at senior levels and also interact cross functionally with NPD and Technical departments.

 

Part of the businesses success lies within their culture, providing a healthy work-life balance and strong development plan with opportunities for overseas work within their business often available.

 

To be successful in this role you will need to demonstrate experience of exceptional customer relationships. Ideally you will stem from a B2B role within the food & beverage industry and have managed national accounts.

 

Company

For over a decade now, Food Industry Associates Ltd have proven to be a recruiter of choice for ambitious SME food and beverage manufacturers across the UK.  We don't recruit for the big corporates by choice.  Instead, we choose to work with companies with personality, entrepreneurial flare (not process), looking to disrupt the market with cutting edge innovation to provide consumers with better, healthier choices.

Are you an early stage start-up struggling to find the right solution to help you gain your fist listings in a specific customer channel before you can raise the budget to employ somebody on a permanent basis?  Maybe you know you need to source a commercial leader but aren't 100% clear in what format, or how to adequately incentivise somebody from a much larger business to join your mission?  Come speak to us.

If you're a more established business looking to bring fresh talent on board to drive ambitious sales targets, source a creative innovator to help you drive in to new extended categories, or looking to strengthen in marketing / category terms, again, come speak to us.

We've a proven record in recruiting talent for an array of businesses, helping them source commercial talent to help them achieve their goals.  From early stage sales talent through to equity-incentivised leadership roles, we've proven time and time again to find the right people for our clients at the first attempt.  

How are we different to most of our competitors?  Unlike most, we don't have as diverse a portfolio of clients we work with.  However all those we do work with continuously come back to us whenever they next have another need.  In our opinion successful recruitment is achieved when two businesses truly 'partner' and collaborate together.  In our opinion the better we know you, the better we understand all the extra elements aside from simple skillset and experience to ensure the right 'fit' is identified at the first attempt.  In our opinion, this is recruitment, done properly.
