London Key Account Manager – Drinks Industry
£32,000 - £36,500 + Car / Allowance + Bonus + Benefits
Field Based – London

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a fast growing and well-known alcoholic drinks business. Having re-structured at the start of 2016 and brought on board a talented senior leadership team they have been going from strength to strength. They have acquired a number of high-quality premium brands this year and are focussed on conquering the London On-Trade; with this opportunity being the final piece of that puzzle. Due to their success and growth they need a Key Account Manager to take responsibility of a number of strategic London On-Trade groups.

As Key Account Manager you will work very closely with the Regional Sales Manager and Route-to-Market Account Manager to develop relationships and increase product listings within a number of high-profile accounts including Be-at-One, Drake & Morgan and Young’s. You will be given responsibility for a commercial budget and marketing spend to allocate across your customer base whilst also prospecting for new business with small to medium groups inside London. Whilst not directly managing a team you will work closely with the team of BDEs to identify key areas for focus and growth.

To be considered for this exciting position it is essential that you have experience working with On-Trade group accounts in the London area. Knowledge of the beer, wines and spirits category is also a must. Those who have managed smaller groups than those listed above are also encouraged to apply. This role will require a tenacious individual with a genuine passion for the drinks industry who wants to join a well-established business with ambitious plans for growth. This will be a very autonomous role with a lot of responsibility so the ability to make decisions as an individual is vital.
