About our Client:

A National Account Controller is needed resulting from a headcount expansion for a client making huge waves in the FMCG market. They have household multi million pound brands, one of the fastest NPD pipelines in the market and are operating globally with over 210,000 SKUS.

The business has grown by 9-fold in the last 2 years and is continuing their growth strategy, led by some of the top minds in FMCG.

While the business sounds blue chip it most certainly is not. Organic growth is continually shaping the structure and provides an entrepreneurial working culture to give you a chance to move from the mundane and really make a mark for yourself.

About the Role:

As National Account Controller you will oversee full P&L accountability and be tasked with growing net sales and profitability across different categories and retailers in line with company objectives. You will build strong relationships with key senior retail contacts, play a pivotal role internally in driving commercial initiatives cross functionally and ensure business plans are implemented effectively.

The role encompasses huge amounts of commercial autonomy, and leads a team of c. 6 direct reports. You will play a fundamental role in their development - whilst also being seen as a key figure within the commercial leadership team. For high performers, there are fantastic opportunities for further progression across the organisation in the UK and potentially - further down the line - internationally.

About You:

The business is looking for high performers of graduate calibre. You will have exceptional negotiation and leadership capabilities and possess a strong track record within the Grocery or High Street channels.  You can be a Senior National Account Manager or Retail Buyer stepping up for man management or a current National Account Controller wanting to really get into the detail, in one of the fastest moving, entrepreneurial, multi-million pound FMCG businesses in the world.

If this sounds like the step up you need to ignite your career please get in touch confidentially with Lyle Edwards 07885 484444.
