Job Details

As the leading supplier within their category, this business continues to set industry standards in terms of product innovation and brand performance.

We need an energetic and passionate individual with the desire to perform in a growing business. This is a fantastic opportunity for anyone looking to further their career in sales within an ambitious and growing food business.

They have grown consecutively for the last 3 years and as a business they continue to reinvest profits to strengthen further support functions, marketing budget and innovation capability to maintain their position as number 1 in their category.

As a result of internal succession planning, with the current incumbent progressing to a Controller level opportunity, the business is looking to recruit a new National Account Manager to drive the performance of a portfolio of key food service, distribution and wholesale accounts across their Northern & Midlands territory.

Whilst ideally targeting those with NAM level experience this role will also suit candidates in field sales/ National Account Executive positions looking to make their first step into National Accounts.

Those from both branded and private label backgrounds will be considered. FMCG experience is key, but the business remains open minded about food and non-food applicants with both being welcomed for consideration.

The business has a fantastic record of succession planning and presenting high performers with opportunities to develop their career swiftly. Those keen to deliver results are high on our agenda. Should you prove yourself in this role, there is strong opportunity to progress into the retail multiple channel if desired.  

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.
