Senior National Account Manager – Coffee

£45,000 Basic, Substantial Bonus, Company Car + Benefits

Our client holds an enviable position as one of the country’s most prestigious suppliers of Fair Trade / Ethically sourced hot beverages. Their business is already successful, and set to grow exponentially.

We have been briefed to identify and recruit an outstanding individual from a hot beverage background, to manage a strategic portfolio of national accounts across a number of different channels.

To be considered for this exciting opportunity, you should have experience of managing / selling into one or more of the following channels;

. A delivered wholesale supplier ( the likes of Bidvest / 3663 for example ).

. or a more traditional wholesaler ( the likes of Booker or Bestway for example, but with the emphasis on the “ delivered to foodservice ” part of the business ).

. High Street Coffee chains ( Costa, Starbucks, Café Nero etc ).

. The in-store public cafes within the large supermarkets or department stores.

You should also have hot beverage experience, and it would be a particular advantage if you were familiar with Fair Trade / Ethically sourced product as well.

Your particular client base has significant potential to grow in size, and this would be partly led by NPD. It is therefore important that you have had exposure to the NPD process and understand how to manage the process from first taking the brief to arranging samples and tastings etc

Remuneration – Basic salary circa £45k plus substantial bonus, and company car. Opportunities for career advancement are excellent.

Applications are invited from candidates living south of Harrogate, and north of Nottingham. There may also be the occasional overnight stay away from home.

Please send your CV in the first instance to Richard Eggleston at richard@houghton-selection.co.uk

Please note that by responding to this advert you are giving permission to Houghton McKenzie Ltd to communicate with you about this role and any other roles we may handle that could be of interest to you.

DUE TO ANTICIPATED RESPONSE LEVELS WE SHALL ONLY BE ABLE TO CONTACT SUCCESSFUL APPLICANTS. IF YOU DO NOT HEAR FROM US YOUR APPLICATION WILL BE DEEMED UNSUCCESSFUL ON THIS OCCASION.
