Accomplished Account Manager needed to grow Fair Trade nut sales
Liberation Foods CIC has been pioneering the market for Fair Trade nuts since 2007 – we supply the majority of Fairtrade nuts in the UK – branded, own label and bulk. Our mission as a social enterprise is to secure profitable, sustainable markets for nuts grown by our shareholder producer cooperatives around the world.
This is a key role in a team of 8 people. We are looking for a resourceful, outgoing individual with FMCG account management experience. You will need to demonstrate strong commercial acumen and the flair to help to build the Liberation brand.
The successful candidate will:
Manage key national accounts including Sainsbury, Tesco and Waitrose
Identify and land new customers in new market sectors and territories
Work with a Business Development Manager to keep NPD activity well-tuned into market trends and customer desires
Deliver sales and profit targets through proactive development of relationships with existing and new customers
You would be joining an experienced and dedicated team in London working in a fun, friendly and flexible atmosphere. Liberation’s nut producer shareholders grow their produce in Bolivia, India, Malawi, Nicaragua and beyond and it is key to this role to gain an in-depth understanding of the supply chain from producer to pack.
