National Account Manager – Grocery & Convenience

National Account Manager – Grocery & Convenience

SlimFast is the UK’s leading weight management brand and since its new ownership three years ago market share has accelerated to 30% with year-on-year growth well ahead of the category.  For 2017 and beyond, the SlimFast commercial challenge is all about gaining even more share, getting the competition on the run and innovating.  To do this the key drivers will be base sales improvement, increased consumer penetration through the doubling of TV spend and the launch of unrivalled brand innovation.  A rejuvenated company with enterprise and pace in everything it does, with the benefits of an established UK and US brand, SlimFast has a relentless ambition to transform nutritional weight management in FMCG today.

The potential is huge and the competition is generally unprepared.  Working closely amongst an accomplished Sales & Marketing team, this is a newly created role with primary focus on a mixed portfolio of Grocery, Convenience and Pharmaceutical retail customers.  You will create and execute annual plans as one of the customer champions within the team.  Having full P&L accountability you’ll influence your stakeholders and peers with the input and support of the wider highly trained consumer and shopper marketing teams.

To confidently qualify for this role you will have 2+ years national account management negotiation experience within branded FMCG, either straight from blue chip corporate life or an entrepreneurial SME environment right now.  To add to your suitability will be your ambitious and impatient desire to be part of a fast paced and results driven company that will stop at nothing to achieve its clear aims.  With your hunger, raw determination to succeed and your self-confidence to perform in a high octane team workplace, you will have the freedom and spirit of enterprise that SlimFast wholly encourages.  

This is your chance to prove yourself in a demanding, young, vibrant and fast paced environment, get noticed for making a difference and be seen as future senior management potential.
