Principally, you will be expected to develop strong relationships with a portfolio of dedicated dairy ingredients food customers. As well as setting up formalised account plans for specific key customers, you will be responsible for ensuring customer requirements are met in full, according to their expectations. It will be a priority for you input into market knowledge, pricing and customer updates and insights, and finally to deliver on all sales volume and price targets in line with the demand plan.

Requirements

To be considered for this role you shall be expected to have National Account Management experience working within the B2B channels, preferably working with confectionary manufacturers. In addition to this it is essential you have experience working within dairy ingredients categories. Finally, you must be a strong negotiator and have the gravitas to deal with senior level decision makers.
