Job Details

Our client is looking for somebody to assume complete ownership of their leading grocery customer relationship, Tesco.

As the lead supplier across a portfolio of innovation-driven categories, their relationship with Tesco is second-to-non, acting in true partnership with one another and shaping the future performance of categories across the nation.

Our client offers a classic fast-paced, chilled, innovation-driven, customer-focussed working environment, with the customer at the centre of their agenda at all times.

As a result, they are looking to identify experienced Account Managers with a strong cross-functional skillset and ability to lead multiple-projects across the likes of NPD, category, supply-chain and factory.

For those who thrive off continual innovation and the development of customer relationships, we believe this working environment combined with increased level of autonomy and influence will ensure you thrive in a highly rewarding environment.

Reporting directly to the Sales Director, you will have day-to-day support from a Junior Account Manager to ensure your time is free (where possible) to regularly interact with the Tesco team.

The business we represent are entering the second phase of an ambitious growth plan which includes the successful acquisition of other chilled, innovation-driven operations and is aiming to double in size over the next 5 years.

As a direct consequence, the Sales Director is finding more of their time being consumed by strategic projects, creating the need to develop a ‘no.2’ to themselves in the sales structure.  This means the business can offer the ideal step to support ambitious individuals progress from Account Manager to Controller level, via the delegation of senior level responsibilities.

Add the fact they will look to promote from within when in need of commercial leaders to support future acquisitions, we firmly believe this opportunity is one with real reward potential.

So, if you enjoy the cut and thrust of chilled food manufacturing, love driving product innovation, and are looking to develop your career and push on to senior levels, we would love to discuss the opportunity with your directly, so please make contact.

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.
