Job Details
As the fastest-expanding supplier within their category, this highly ambitious branded food business is seeking a driven Senior National Account Manager to manage its leading grocery retail customer relationships.
As the representative face of the business with key grocery customers, you will liaise at buyer and senior levels of contact to drive ventures in to new categories and continue to deliver organic growth of existing brands.
Having successfully completed the acquisition of a leading competitor business earlier this year, the business has doubled in size in a small space of time and will continue to demonstrate ambitious plans over the coming years.
As a result of the pace in which it is expanding, the business is clearly capable of offering ambitious individuals a platform to accelerate their career progression quicker than most other FMCG environments.
Privately owned, the business is well suited to results driven account managers keen to operate within an entrepreneurial and fast-paced environment.
With a strong portfolio of brands, those familiar with managing complex multiple-SKU supplier relationships will likely begin delivering results swiftly and so be viewed as favourable applicants for the role.
So if you are familiar with grocery retail customer channels, and believe you will thrive in a results driven and entrepreneurial working environment, we are keen to hear from you.
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.
