Job Details

Our client supplies well-loved food brands familiar to us all.   Consumers are as passionate about these brands today as they were 50 years ago, and still view them as ‘trustworthy’ as well as innovative and quality driven.

The business is widely respected amongst its peers for maintaining its core values and strong brand equity, whilst enjoying significant growth over recent years.  Culturally the business is well known for investing in people, and boasts extremely low staff attrition levels as a result.

As a result of recent succession planning the business is currently looking to recruit a new National Account Manager to drive new and existing sales across the Convenience customer channel.

The role is high profile, assuming full accountability for the convenience channel and as such we are keen to identify those looking to take full ownership of the channel and make a real impact.

Joining an already successful and experienced team, the role will report directly to the non-grocery Commercial Controller, who in turn reports to the companies Sales Director.

You will be joining a very energetic and focussed team, and a business that aims to continue to deliver double-digit annual growth via brand/business acquisition as well as product innovation and leading edge category approaches.

Indeed, the recent acquisition of one of the UK’s best-known brands appears to have impressed across the industry.  It is also clear that as the business continues to grow, significant career-development opportunities will be presented to those who deliver good results for the business.

If you are keen to learn more about this exciting and rare opportunity, please contact us via the details provided below.  We look forward to hearing 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.
