One of the pivotal players in the global food industry is seeking an analytical and highly numerate National Account Executive. You'll help drive the financial performance of the organisation by skilfully delivering key elements of the sales plan.

As National Account Executive you will collaborate with our big name customers, so that both parties' needs are met. You will contribute to the management and execution of their chilled dairy strategies and will support the delivery of joint business plans, ensuring that our client develops and maintains profitable business, promotions and other activities.

This post would suit a charismatic and astute sales professional, someone who has the determination and nous to impress, and to secure mutually beneficial outcomes for both our client and their customers.

This role will provide a platform for a remarkable individual to demonstrate their ability to deliver on and exceed targets in a well-established, innovative organisation, meaning there's plenty of scope for the right person to make their mark.

Key responsibilities:

  • Working with the Demand Planning Team to deliver service level targets through better forecasting.

  • Collecting and maintaining up-to-date account, channel and competitor data.
  • Ensuring all pricing and promotional info is accurate, and tracking and managing promotional spend.
  • Assisting and managing projects with the National Account Manager, working cross functionally.

To succeed, you’ll possess significant understanding of business drivers and will be able to shrewdly interpret data.

You'll be someone who's able to forge robust relationships and alliances, both internally and externally, connecting with our client's Support Team and other functions as required. You'll also boast excellent communication and presentation skills.

Our client is looking for a well-educated, ambitious individual who's the epitome of professionalism and who works with drive, creativity and integrity.

Interested?  To apply, email your CV with a covering letter outlining relevant experience and skills to our consultants at Ashwood, quoting reference 2205.
